Advocacy in action.

The Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act has officially been signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026. This bipartisan legislation streamlines Medicaid and CHIP provider enrollment for pediatric specialists, helping reduce delays in care — especially for children who must travel across state lines to receive treatment.

ACPA has proudly advocated for this legislation since 2023. This victory underscores the power of bipartisan collaboration to improve access to care for children nationwide.
