What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Accelerating Kids' Access to Care Act," seeks to amend the Social Security Act regarding Medicaid and CHIP. It aims to streamline the enrollment process for certain out-of-state healthcare providers. Under this act, states would implement a process allowing eligible out-of-state providers to enroll to furnish items or services to qualifying individuals. These providers would be enrolled for a 5-year period unless terminated or excluded. The changes specifically target qualifying individuals who are under 21 years of age. The amendments are scheduled to take effect three years after the bill is enacted.
