This bill amends Title XI of the Social Security Act to introduce a new requirement for the Secretary of Health and Human Services regarding unique health identifiers. It mandates that HHS verify a healthcare provider's license status and good standing before issuing such an identifier. The legislation requires HHS to establish an automated system within 30 days of enactment to perform this verification. This system will confirm that applicants claiming to be licensed in a state are indeed licensed and that their license is in good standing. The primary goal is to ensure that unique health identifiers are only provided to properly credentialed healthcare professionals, enhancing accountability and patient safety.
