Community Health Worker Access Act

This bill would make Medicare cover community health services, which include things like health screenings and home visits that help people with everyday factors that affect their health. These services would be provided by community health workers employed by nonprofits, health centers, and similar organizations, and those workers must have personal experience living in the communities they serve. The bill also lets state Medicaid programs cover these same services and offers states extra federal funding to help pay for them.
