Requires certain Medicaid payments for primary care to be at least as high as Medicare Part B rates, expands which primary care providers can receive that rate, excludes emergency department services from the requirement, and requires Medicaid managed care contracts to meet the payment standard and supply documentation. Directs HHS to study Medicaid enrollment, the number of primary care providers paid, and state Medicaid primary care payment rates using three fee indexes, with a report due about 13 months after enactment and $200,000 authorized for FY2026 to carry out the study.
