Increases federal matching rate for Medicaid behavioral health services, including mental health and substance use.

The Medicaid Bump Act amends title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide a higher federal matching rate for increased expenditures under Medicaid for behavioral health services. These services include those related to mental health and substance use. States must meet accountability and maintenance of effort requirements to receive these funds. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must issue sub-regulatory guidance and submit annual reports on behavioral health services provided under Medicaid. The changes apply to calendar quarters beginning one year after the enactment of this Act.
