Bill information
Summary
To provide that certain limits on State-directed payments under the Medicaid program not apply to certain maternity, labor, and delivery services.
Plain-language summary
This bill would allow states to make higher Medicaid payments for maternity, labor, and delivery services in rural areas without hitting normal federal spending limits. Medicaid is the health insurance program for low-income Americans, and states receive federal money to run it but face restrictions on how much they can spend. The bill targets rural communities where maternity care is scarce and aims to help increase access to childbirth services. Currently the bill has been introduced in Congress and is awaiting review.
