Boston Children's Hospital focuses on child health access especially with respect to the Medicaid and CHIP programs. In the current Congress, we have sought to insure that children's' access to care through the Medicaid and CHIP programs is adequately funded. We have advocated for policies that enable complex pediatric patients to travel across state lines through the Accelerating Kids Access to Care Act (S. 1544 and H.R. 3089) and have been actively involved in efforts to simplify screening and enrollment for out of state providers treating these children. We also continue to advocate for increased payment rates for pediatric mental health services covered by Medicaid through the above mentioned, Strengthen Kids Mental Health Now Act (H.R. 7236) and the Investing in Kids Mental Health Now Act (S. 4747)
