SECTION 1. MEDICAID PROVIDER SCREENING REQUIREMENTS.

    Section 1902(kk)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.

            (1) by striking ``The State'' and inserting:
                    ``(A) In general.--The State''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
                    ``(B) Additional provider screening.--Beginning 
                January 1, 2025, as part of the enrollment (or 
                revalidation of enrollment) of a provider or supplier 
                under this title, and not less frequently than 
                quarterly during the period that such provider or 
                supplier is so enrolled, the State conducts a check of

                section 6401(b)(2) of the Patient Protection and 
                Affordable Care Act to determine whether the Secretary 
                has terminated the participation of such provider or 
                supplier under title XVIII, any other State plan under 
                this title (or waiver of the plan), or any State child 
                health plan under title XXI (or waiver of the plan).''.
