An Act to promote primary care through Medicaid graduate medical education funding

This bill directs the state to increase Medicaid payments to hospitals and clinics that train medical residents in primary care, behavioral health, and other specialties facing doctor shortages. The funding amounts will be calculated using a standard federal method similar to Medicare, adjusted to reflect Massachusetts patient data. State officials must determine the necessary funding levels by July 2024 and begin making these payments to eligible providers by October 2025.
