Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act

This bill requires every state to create a way for doctors and other health care providers from other states to temporarily sign up to treat children and young people under 21 through Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) without going through extra screening steps. To qualify, the out-of-state provider must already be enrolled in Medicare or another state's Medicaid program, must be considered low-risk for fraud, and must not have been kicked out of any federal or state health care program. Providers who qualify would be enrolled for five years, and these changes would go into effect three years after the bill becomes law.
