S.2410

Medicaid Bump Act increases federal matching rate for Medicaid behavioral health services.

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. It requires states to use the funds to supplement, not supplant, existing state funds for behavioral health services. The bill mandates that states use the funds for activities that improve the delivery of behavioral health services, including increasing provider payment rates and reducing staff turnover.
