Restoring Essential Healthcare Act

Sponsored By: Representative Friedman, Laura [D-CA-30]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would repeal Section 71113 of Public Law 119-21 and restore Medicaid payments to previously barred entities for items and services furnished during the retroactive period between the two enactments.

Show full summary
  • Entities identified as "prohibited" in section 71113(b)(1) would be eligible to receive Medicaid reimbursement for covered items and services they provided during that retroactive window. Payments must be treated as if section 71113 had not been enacted for that period.
  • State Medicaid programs would process those retroactive payments under existing Title XIX financing and using their state plan or waiver mechanisms.
  • The change is limited to the specified retroactive period and operates by removing the payment prohibition for that window while relying on existing Medicaid financing rather than creating new funding authorities.

Back pay for Medicaid care at barred providers

If enacted, this would repeal a prior ban and require retro Medicaid payments to some previously barred providers. It would pay for covered care given from the enactment of Public Law 119-21 until this bill is enacted. It applies to services under a State Medicaid plan or waiver, using the same provider definition from that prior law. Payments outside that window would not change under this text. This could reduce unpaid claims or patient bills for people who got care during that time.
