Individuals in Medicaid Deserve Care that is Appropriate and Responsible in its Delivery Act

Summary: Individuals in Medicaid Deserve Care that is Appropriate and Responsible in its Execution&nbsp;Act or the IMD CARE Act (Sec. 2) This bill temporarily allows states to apply to receive federal Medicaid payment for services provided in institutions for mental diseases (IMDs) and for other medically necessary services for enrollees (aged 21 to 64) with opioid-use or cocaine-use disorders. Services may be covered for a total of up to 30 days in a 12-month period for an eligible enrollee. States must include specified information in their applications, including plans to improve access to outpatient care. Current law generally prohibits federal payment under Medicaid for services provided in IMDs for individuals under the age of 65 (although states may receive payment through certain mechanisms, such as through a Medicaid demonstration waiver).  (Sec. 3) Additionally, the bill temporarily eliminates the enhanced federal matching rate for Medicaid expenditures regarding specified medical services provided by certain managed care organizations.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Individuals in Medicaid Deserve Care 
that is Appropriate and Responsible in its Execution Act'' or the ``IMD 
CARE Act''.
