Latest action on S. 760: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects children and families who use Medicaid, the primary care providers who treat them, and the state Medicaid programs that pay for their care. Providers could receive higher payments for covered primary care visits. States and Medicaid managed care plans would have to update payment rules and prove they are following them.
Why this matters: Medicaid patients can have trouble finding primary care when payment rates are too low for providers to take them. This bill tries to change that by making many Medicaid primary care payments match Medicare rates. It could affect how many doctors and clinics take Medicaid patients, but the result is not guaranteed. It could also raise Medicaid costs for federal and state governments.
Key provisions in S. 760
- Medicaid would have to pay at least the Medicare Part B rate for certain primary care services. If a special 2009-based rate is higher, Medicaid must use that instead, and it cannot pay less than the state’s normal Medicaid rate.
- The bill creates a new period for higher Medicaid primary care payments. It starts on the first day of the first month after the Kids’ Access to Primary Care Act of 2025 becomes law.
- More doctors could qualify for the higher payments. This includes OB/GYN doctors, OB/GYN subspecialists, and subspecialists in family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics, if they self-attest that they have the required board certification.
- Advanced practice clinicians could also qualify. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would define that group, and the bill also covers nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse-midwives when they meet supervision rules and state law allows it.
- Rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, and similar clinics could get the higher primary care payments. They must bill on physician-style fee schedules, and eligible professionals must provide the services.
