To facilitate timely access to quality health care by expanding access to patient navigation

This bill would require health insurers and Medicaid managed care plans to cover "patient navigation services" provided by community health workers. These services aim to help patients access healthcare, manage chronic diseases, address social needs, and overcome barriers like language or health literacy. This change would apply to contracts starting January 1, 2026, and requires federal approval and state regulations for implementation.
