New state reporting on Medicaid abortion payments
If enacted, states that use federal Medicaid funds to pay abortion providers would need to file and post yearly reports. Reports would start with the first fiscal year that ends after enactment and be due within 60 days after year‑end. States would list each payment amount, why it was paid, and how it compares to prior years. They would also report the number of abortions, the gestational age for each, and the method used. HHS would publish a compiled report and send it to Congress within 90 days after each fiscal year. The bill defines which payments and providers are covered, defines “abortion” with limited exceptions, and adds this duty to state Medicaid plans.
