IaHIMA Members: Take Action Today!

The MATCH IT Act of 2025 (H.R. 2002) has been reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, and your voice is needed to support this critical bipartisan legislation!

➡Go to AHIMA’s Action Center now to urge your lawmakers to support the MATCH IT Act:

Why This Matters:
As detailed in the September 2025 AHIMA E-Newsletter article, E-News Exclusive: Bipartisan Representatives Reintroduce MATCH IT Act of 2025, the Patient Matching and Transparency in Certified Health IT (MATCH IT) Act aims to fix one of healthcare’s most costly and dangerous problems—patient misidentification.

The Patient Matching and Transparency in Certified Health IT (MATCH IT) Act, led by Reps. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Bill Foster (D-IL), addresses one of the biggest patient safety challenges in healthcare today—patient misidentification.

The Act will:
• Establish a national definition for “patient match rate”
• Standardize demographic data in certified health IT
• Improve patient safety, privacy, and interoperability
• Reduce medical errors and the $6.7 billion in annual costs tied to mismatched records

Supported by AHIMA and a broad coalition of healthcare leaders, this legislation is a vital step toward accurate, secure, and efficient health data use.

AHIMA President Maria Caban Alizondo states:

“The MATCH IT Act would decrease patient misidentification, improve privacy and care, and lower healthcare costs.”

Let’s make sure Iowa’s voice is heard in support of this transformative legislation.
