Rep. Neal Dunn's office announced that Dunn, Troy Carter, and Angie Craig introduced the Improving CARE for Youth Act to increase access to mental health services for children enrolled in Medicaid. The release says current Medicaid policy generally allows only one service billed per patient per day, delaying same-day primary care and behavioral or mental health services, and says the bill would allow Medicaid reimbursement for behavioral health and primary care delivered on the same day.

Quiver's bill page for H.R. 9847 lists Neal P. Dunn as sponsor and describes the bill as requiring state Medicaid programs to cover certain primary care, mental health, and substance use disorder services provided to the same person on the same day. Its actions list only two actions: introduced in House on July 22, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on July 22, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The current 119th Congress bill is still at introduction/referral, with no listed House passage, Senate passage, presidential signature, or agency implementation. This supports unresolved status while crediting Dunn for a serious legislative effort.
