AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change the Social Security Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to check health care providers' state licenses before giving them a unique health identifier. Within 30 days after the law is enacted, the Secretary would have to set up and use an automated system for this check. The system would confirm that an applicant who claims to be licensed in a state is actually licensed there and that the license is in good standing. This check would have to happen before the identifier is issued.
