Northern Mariana Islands Medicaid Advancement Act
Sponsored By: Representative King-Hinds, Kimberlyn [R-MP-At Large]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would align the Northern Mariana Islands' Medicaid payment limit for fiscal year 2026 with the amount set for American Samoa. It amends section 1108(g)(2)(D) of the Social Security Act by changing a cross-reference, striking the word "and", and adding a clause that makes American Samoa's subparagraph (E) amount apply to the Northern Mariana Islands for FY2026. The measure is a one-year, targeted payment adjustment and does not create new programs, funding, or eligibility rules beyond FY2026.

Higher Medicaid payments for Northern Mariana Islands
If enacted, this bill would raise the federal Medicaid payment limit for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands for fiscal year 2026. It would set the NMI limit equal to the amount set for American Samoa for fiscal year 2026. This could increase federal funding available to Medicaid providers and beneficiaries in the Northern Mariana Islands for that one year. The exact dollar change would depend on the American Samoa FY2026 amount determined under current law.
