Bill information
Summary
To establish a pilot program to provide an add-on payment to certain plans offering benefits designed to address the needs of dual-eligible individuals related to social determinants of health, and to provide administrative flexibility to improve integration for certain dual-eligible individuals.

The IDEAL Act creates a test program that gives extra payment to health insurance plans serving dual-eligible individuals—people covered by both Medicare and Medicaid.

The bill also gives these plans more flexibility in how they operate to better coordinate care between Medicare and Medicaid. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is currently under review.
