Streamlining Medicaid Credentialing Amendment Act of 2025

This bill creates a centralized Medicaid credentialing system managed by the District's Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF), replacing the current process where each Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCO) independently credentials providers. It requires DHCF to develop a single application process by 2027, allowing providers credentialed through DHCF to serve all MCOs without additional MCO-specific requirements. The bill sets strict timelines: DHCF must notify providers of missing application information within 10 days and issue temporary credentials within 30 days of receiving a complete application. This directly affects healthcare providers (like doctors and clinics) and Medicaid patients by reducing delays in care access and administrative burdens.
