State data are reported by the Federally mandated electronic process, known as MSIS (Medicaid Statistical Information System). These data are the basis of actuarial forecasts for Medicaid service utilization and costs; of analysis and cost savings estimates required for legislative initiatives relating to Medicaid and for responding to requests for information from CMS components, the Department,Congress and other customers.
The decrease in burden is due to the exclusion of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico as they do not have an MMIS system and are not required to participate.
