Summary
Protecting Medicaid enrollment health data from immigration enforcement.

Show full summary
- Families and Medicaid enrollees: Would prevent HHS and CMS from sharing individually identifiable health information collected during Medicaid enrollment with immigration enforcement, shielding enrollment records from use in immigration actions.
- Immigration enforcement agencies: Would be denied access to Medicaid enrollment data when the requested use is enforcing immigration laws.
- HHS and CMS: Would face a statutory prohibition that overrides other disclosure authorities for the specific purpose of immigration enforcement.

Protect Medicaid enrollment data from ICE
If enacted, CMS and HHS would not be allowed to share identifiable health information from Medicaid enrollment to enforce immigration laws. This would cover data collected to sign up for a State Medicaid plan or waiver. It would apply to disclosures to any person, including ICE, and would override the Privacy Act for this purpose. It would not change your benefits or payments; it only limits data sharing for immigration enforcement.
