Kids’ Access to Primary Care Act of 2025

Bill 119 s 760, also known as the "Medicare Payment Rate Floor Renewal Act," aims to make changes to title XIX of the Social Security Act in order to extend the application of the Medicare payment rate floor to primary care services provided under the Medicaid program. This bill seeks to ensure that healthcare providers who offer primary care services to Medicaid patients receive fair and adequate reimbursement rates, similar to those provided under the Medicare program.

The Medicare payment rate floor is a provision that guarantees a minimum payment rate for certain healthcare services, including primary care services, provided to Medicare beneficiaries. By extending this provision to Medicaid, the bill aims to address disparities in reimbursement rates between the two programs and ensure that Medicaid patients have access to high-quality primary care services.

In addition to renewing the application of the Medicare payment rate floor to primary care services under Medicaid, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes. While the specific details of these additional provisions are not outlined in the summary, it is likely that they are related to improving access to healthcare services for Medicaid beneficiaries and addressing other issues within the Medicaid program. Overall, Bill 119 s 760 seeks to improve the reimbursement rates for primary care services provided under the Medicaid program, ultimately aiming to enhance access to quality healthcare for Medicaid patients.
