The Restoring Essential Healthcare Act repeals a provision in Public Law 119–21 that prohibited Medicaid payments to certain healthcare entities. The bill affects healthcare providers and organizations that were previously barred from receiving Medicaid reimbursement under the earlier law. Additionally, the legislation requires that Medicaid payments be made retroactively for any medical services provided by these "prohibited entities" from the time the original restriction took effect until this new bill is enacted, essentially reimbursing providers for services delivered during the prohibition period. The bill was introduced in late July 2025 with broad bipartisan House sponsorship and was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce for further consideration.
