SEC. 2305. REQUIRING COVERAGE OF SERVICES OF PODIATRISTS.

(a) In General.--Section 1905(a)(5)(A) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(a)(5)(A)) is amended by
striking ``section 1861(r)(1)'' and inserting ``paragraphs
(1) and (3) of section 1861(r)''.
(b) Effective Date.--
(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the
amendment made by subsection (a) shall apply to services
furnished on or after January 1, 2010.
(2) Delay if needed for state legislation.--In the case of
a State plan for medical assistance under title XIX of the
Social Security Act which the Secretary of Health and Human
Services determines requires State legislation (other than
legislation appropriating funds) in order for the plan to
meet the additional requirement imposed by the amendment made
by subsection (a), the State plan shall not be regarded as
failing to comply with the requirements of such title solely
on the basis of its failure to meet this additional
requirement before the first day of the first calendar
quarter beginning after the close of the first regular
session of the State legislature that begins after the date
of the enactment of this Act. For purposes of the previous
sentence, in the case of a State that has a 2-year
legislative session, each year of such session shall be
deemed to be a separate regular session of the State
legislature.
