On March 3, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a State Health Official (SHO) letter, “Promoting Continuity of Coverage and Distributing Eligibility and Enrollment Workload in Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Basic Health Program (BHP) Upon Conclusion of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.” This expert perspective summarizes the highly anticipated guidance, which clarifies CMS expectations for state Medicaid and CHIP agencies as they prepare to process outstanding eligibility and enrollment actions when the federal Medicaid continuous coverage requirement ends.
On February 17, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a request for information (RFI) regarding the federal standards that govern access to care in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. The RFI casts a wide net, soliciting suggestions for reform regarding access to coverage–namely, the processes for enrollment and eligibility redeterminations–as well as the standards for defining and monitoring enrollee access to care under both fee-for-service and managed care delivery systems. This expert perspective summarizes the RFI to assist states as they draft their submissions. Comments on the RFI are due by April 18.
