    How might allowing out-of-state doctors to treat Medicaid and CHIP children without extra screening affect wait times and access to care in states with doctor shortages?

  2. 02

    What safeguards could prevent quality or safety issues when five-year-old children receive treatment from providers in other states without additional vetting?

  3. 03

    Which states would benefit most from this policy, and how should the federal government support implementation costs if no funding is allocated?
