Easier Access to Medicaid Care for Children Across States
New rules make it easier for children and young people to access medical specialists through the Medicaid program, even if the doctor is in another state. This means parents won't have to worry about extra paperwork when their child needs out-of-state treatment. The act aims to speed up access to necessary care, especially for complex conditions.

Out-of-state doctors can more easily treat children and youth under Medicaid, without extra paperwork.
