Removes Medicaid exclusion for inmates pending disposition of charges.
The Due Process Continuity of Care Act removes the Medicaid coverage exclusion for inmates in custody pending disposition of charges. It requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award planning grants to states to support providing medical assistance to eligible individuals. The grants must be used to prepare applications that include activities to assess health treatment needs, increase provider capacity, and ensure quality care. The act authorizes $50,000,000 for these purposes.
