Restoring Essential Healthcare Act

The Restoring Essential Healthcare Act repeals a provision that blocked Medicaid payments to certain healthcare providers. Specifically, it removes a restriction from Public Law 119-21 that prevented Medicaid from paying "prohibited entities" for services provided between the law's enactment and this bill's effective date. Payments for those services will now be made retroactively, as if the restriction had never existed. This directly affects Medicaid programs and the healthcare providers previously excluded from receiving these payments.
