119th (2025–2027)
H.R. 6148
The Patients Over Paperwork Act of 2025 would repeal a provision from a previous law that changed how states handle Medicaid eligibility reviews. Specifically, the bill would reverse Section 71107 of Public Law 119–21, restoring Medicaid eligibility redetermination rules to their prior status. The legislation affects millions of Medicaid beneficiaries and state health programs that administer Medicaid benefits. The bill contains no specified funding or implementation timeline beyond the repeal itself. By reversing the earlier change, the bill aims to reduce administrative burdens on Medicaid recipients during the process of verifying their continued eligibility for coverage.
