Rehabilitation and Recovery During Incarceration Act

HR 6675, the Rehabilitation and Recovery During Incarceration Act, modifies Medicaid and CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) rules to allow states to provide mental health and substance use disorder services to incarcerated individuals. It directly affects eligible inmates - those who were Medicaid- or CHIP-eligible before incarceration or become eligible while incarcerated - by enabling states to cover these services under existing programs. Key provisions include a 100% federal funding match for these services (replacing standard rates) and requiring states to reinvest the extra funds into health IT, community providers, and reentry support services. The bill mandates a 5-year report by the Comptroller General to assess access, quality, and outcomes of care for incarcerated individuals.
