H.R. 6083 · 114th Congress
Patient Navigation Assistance Act of 2016
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
This bill amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act to require state Medicaid programs to provide medical assistance for patient navigator services. ("Patient navigators" are individuals who are trained to facilitate the care of other individuals and who have direct knowledge of the communities they serve.)
