Medicaid Access to Care Comments
In a letter to CMS Administrator Donald Berwick HIVMA and RWMPC provided reccomendations on the proposed rule on Methods for Assuring Access to covered Medicaid Services (CMS-2328-P).
We strongly support the CMS effort to create a standardized and transparent process for states to comply with section 1902(a)(30)(A) of the Social Security Act. The proposed Rule is an important step toward developing a national framework for ensuring state transparency and accountability with regards to evaluating whether Medicaid payments rates are adequately supporting reliable and sufficient access to services for Medicaid beneficiaries.
