It cuts through red tape by allowing families and children to cross state lines and receive medical attention and access to medical professionals for specialized care. As a father and former board member of Arkansas Children's Hospital, I'm pleased to support this piece of legislation that gives our most vulnerable children the attention and care they deserve. Background The IMPROVE Act, H.R. 7217, does the following: Provides additional Medicaid expansion for coordinated care for certain groups of children with complex medical conditions. Provides for an extension of the Money Follows the Person program. Delays the application of competitive bid pricing with Complex Rehab Technology accessories and includes provisions to offset spending increases. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
