What this bill would do

The "MATCH IT Act of 2025" aims to improve how patients are matched with their medical records in the U.S. health care system. It requires the Secretary to create a uniform definition and standards for "patient match rate" to track accuracy over time. The National Coordinator will also identify a minimum data set to support high-rate patient matching. These standards will be integrated into health IT certification and Medicare interoperability requirements. Additionally, the bill creates a voluntary bonus payment for providers who achieve a high patient match rate.
