Improving Access to Indian Health Services Act

 
This bill permanently extends certain Medicaid flexibilities relating to Indian health care providers.
 
Specifically, the bill permanently expands coverage to include clinical services that are furnished outside of a clinic by an Indian Health Service (IHS) facility, a tribe or tribal organization, or an Urban Indian Organization (UIO). Current guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services allows IHS and tribal facilities to receive payment for clinical services provided outside of clinics through October 31, 2021; facilities are expected to work with their state Medicaid programs to transition to other, more permanent payment options for these services.
 
The bill also permanently establishes a 100% federal matching rate, also known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), for UIO services. Current law provides a 100% FMAP for UIO services during the eight fiscal quarters after March 11, 2021.

Health Insurance Consumer Protection Act

 
 This bill requires health insurance exchanges to establish network adequacy standards for health insurance plans to meet. It also expands the review process for potentially unreasonable health insurance rates, including premiums.
 
 The review process, which currently covers only premium increases, is expanded to include the annual review of potentially excessive, unjustified, or unfairly discriminatory rates for health care coverage. If a rate is determined to be unreasonable, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), or the relevant state agency, must take corrective action before, or as soon as possible after, the rate takes effect. Corrective actions may include denying or modifying a rate or requiring the insurer to issue a rebate to consumers.
 
 HHS may apply civil monetary penalties to health insurers that fail to comply with a corrective action. Additionally, HHS may decertify the plan as a qualified health plan (i.e., a plan that is certified for sale on a health insurance exchange, is eligible for premium subsidies, and meets the requirements for minimum essential coverage).
