What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Ensuring Access to Specialty care Everywhere Act of 2025," aims to amend the Social Security Act. It directs the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to test a new "Specialty Health Care Services Access Model." This model involves the Secretary entering agreements with specific provider networks to deliver specialty health care services. These services would be provided to eligible individuals using digital modalities like telehealth and other remote technologies. The process would also involve coordination with the individuals' primary care providers.
