HR 5792
Rhode Island bill to modify Medicaid Section 1115 waiver request/renewal processes withdrawn by sponsors before hearing (March 2025).
HR 5792 is a joint resolution that would amend Rhode Island's Medicaid reform framework, specifically modifying how the state requests and renews Section 1115 demonstration waivers with the federal government. Section 1115 waivers allow states to test innovative Medicaid program designs that deviate from standard federal requirements. The bill was introduced in February 2025 but withdrawn by sponsors on March 3, 2025.
Section 1115 waivers are critical tools for state Medicaid programs, enabling them to pilot alternative delivery models, eligibility expansions, or cost-containment strategies. Changes to Rhode Island's waiver request and renewal processes could affect how the state implements Medicaid coverage, provider payment structures, or beneficiary access to services. Since the bill was withdrawn before substantive action, its specific policy changes remain unclear from available records.
