Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 1509 aims to make it easier for out-of-state healthcare providers to enroll in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The bill proposes changes to titles XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act in order to streamline the enrollment process for these providers.

Currently, out-of-state providers face a cumbersome and time-consuming enrollment process when trying to participate in Medicaid and CHIP. This can create barriers to accessing care for patients who rely on these programs for their healthcare needs.

The proposed changes in the bill would simplify and expedite the enrollment process for out-of-state providers, making it easier for them to participate in Medicaid and CHIP. This would ultimately improve access to care for patients across state lines. By streamlining the enrollment process, the bill aims to increase the number of healthcare providers available to serve Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries, ultimately improving the quality and accessibility of healthcare services for those in need. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1509 seeks to remove unnecessary barriers for out-of-state providers looking to participate in Medicaid and CHIP, ultimately benefiting patients who rely on these programs for their healthcare needs.
