     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Territories Health Equity Act of 2021&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill alters provisions relating to the treatment of U.S. territories under Medicaid, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For example, the bill&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;eliminates Medicaid funding limitations for U.S. territories beginning in FY2022, &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;exempts an individual from late-enrollment penalties for Medicare medical services if the individual resided in Puerto Rico as of the date of eligibility and the individual enrolls within five years of such date, and&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;establishes minimum criteria for certain elements used in Medicare Advantage payment calculations for areas within U.S. territories. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also allows residents of U.S. territories who are unable to obtain health insurance through their employer or a health insurance exchange to instead obtain coverage that is at least as broad as the coverage available to Members of Congress and their staff through the District of Columbia exchange. &lt;/p&gt;
