To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to further require certain additional provider screening under the Medicaid program.

Summary · Congressional Research Service (nonpartisan)

This bill requires state Medicaid programs to check, as part of the provider enrollment and reenrollment process, whether providers were terminated from participating in the Medicare program, any other state Medicaid program, or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) using certain databases (e.g., the Data EXchange system). The bill requires states to continue to check these databases on at least a monthly basis after providers are enrolled.
