Reentry Act of 2023
S 1165, the Reentry Act of 2023, allows Medicaid coverage for incarcerated individuals during the 30 days preceding their release from prison or jail. This directly affects people transitioning from correctional facilities back into communities by connecting them to healthcare immediately after release. The bill amends Medicaid law to remove a barrier preventing coverage during this critical period. It also requires a report within 18 months analyzing correctional healthcare standards, the number of eligible individuals, and discharge processes to support better health transitions.
