Transparency into State Directed Payments Act of 2024

HR 8113, the Transparency into State Directed Payments Act of 2024, requires states administering Medicaid to publicly report detailed information about how they direct Medicaid payments to healthcare providers. States must submit annual reports by January 1, 2026, explaining eligibility criteria, payment calculation methods, and how directed payments compare to standard rates and Medicaid payment limits. These reports - including data on payment amounts, distribution formulas, and net provider rates - must be made publicly available on the CMS website. The bill directly affects states managing Medicaid and the healthcare providers receiving these directed payments, aiming to increase transparency in how states allocate Medicaid funds.
