The DRA provides states with
flexibility to request through the use of State Plan preprints
changes in benefit packages, cost-sharing, non-emergency medical
transportation services etc. CMS will send State Medicaid Directors
letters and State Plan preprints to States in an effort to request
these changes. The information collected from the State will be
reviewed and approved by CMS in order that States can implement the
Medicaid program.
Burden increase is due to
provision 6043 of the DRA which requires third-party disclosure
from hospitals to beneficiaries. This package has been edited to
include the burden associated with the third-party disclosure. No
other changes were made to this currently approved collection. OMB
requested that CMS revise this package via the 83-C process to
include the additional burden.
