Northern Mariana Islands Medicaid funding would increase for 2026
This bill would raise the federal Medicaid funding cap for the Northern Mariana Islands. For the government's budget year 2026, their funding limit would match the amount set for American Samoa. This change aims to provide more federal money for healthcare services in the islands.
Currently, the federal Medicaid payment limit for the Northern Mariana Islands is determined by a specific rule in the Social Security Act. If this bill becomes law, for the government's budget year 2026, this limit would be set to the same amount as American Samoa's Medicaid payment limit for that year. This would change how their federal Medicaid funding cap is calculated for that specific year.
