Who this affects: This bill mainly affects children and low-income families who rely on Medicaid for basic care. It also affects doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, certified nurse-midwives, clinics, state Medicaid agencies, and private Medicaid managed care plans. Providers may receive higher payments for covered primary care. States and plans would have to update payment systems and document that they meet the new rules.

Why this matters: Many Medicaid patients struggle to find primary care, and low payment rates can be one reason. This bill tries to address that by raising pay for covered primary care visits. If providers respond by accepting more Medicaid patients, children and families may get care earlier and outside emergency rooms. The bill does not guarantee that access will improve, so it also requires a federal study.

Key provisions in H.R. 1433

• Medicaid would have to pay at least Medicare rates for covered primary care. The new payment period would start soon after the bill becomes law.
• The bill brings back and extends an older 2013-2014 Medicaid payment rule. It also lets more kinds of providers qualify.
• Covered doctors include family medicine, internal medicine, pediatric, and obstetrics and gynecology doctors. Their subspecialists also qualify if they are board-certified and self-attest.
• Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse-midwives could qualify when they follow state law. Some rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, and similar clinics could also qualify if they bill through physician-based fee schedules.
• Hospital emergency department care would not get the higher primary care rate. The bill says those services do not count as primary care for this rule.
