AHCA Applauds CMS Action on Issuing Medicaid Final Rule

AHCA recently applauded the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for finalizing the rule “Medicaid Program; Methods for Assuring Access to Covered Medicaid Services.” The rule puts additional structures in place that are intended to make Medicaid fee-for-service payment rate development more data-driven and transparent to beneficiaries and providers.

“We applaud CMS for taking action on this long-awaited rule,” said Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA. “AHCA provided input, and we are pleased to see that CMS had like-minded ideas. This is a framework for more transparency and accountability in the state plan amendment process for both beneficiaries and providers.”
