Restoring Inpatient Mental Health Access Act of 2025

This bill would change federal Medicaid law so that the federal government can help pay for care given to patients in an institution for mental diseases (IMD). It removes the current rule that excludes IMD services from several types of covered Medicaid care, including inpatient hospital services and nursing facility services. It also ends the existing IMD payment limits for care furnished on or after January 1, 2027. The changes would apply to medical assistance furnished on or after January 1, 2027.
