The Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act), enacted March 23, 2010
includes provisions prohibiting Federal Financial Participation to
States for payments for health care-acquired conditions (HCACs).
Section 2702(a) specifically requires that the Secretary identify
current State practices that prohibit payment for HCACs and
incorporate those practices or elements of those practices which
she determines appropriate for application to the Medicaid program.
In accordance with section 2702(a) of the Affordable Care Act, CMS
is issuing this survey to States to obtain information on current
State Medicaid practices for prohibiting payments for
HCACs.
