Medicaid
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) late last night unveiled a $1.1 trillion spending package to fund the government for the remainder of fiscal year 2016.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Oct. 29 issued a final rule with comment period requiring states to submit plans to monitor access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries, and establishing new review procedures for proposed rate changes in the Medicaid fee-for-service program.
On June 1, CMS published in the Federal Register a long-awaited proposed rule that would modernize the Medicaid and Childrens Health Insurance Program managed care regulations.
