State Plan Template to
Implement Section 6062 of the DRA (Opportunity for Families of
Disabled Children to Purchase Medicaid Coverage for Such Children)
CMS-10232
The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA)
provides States with numerous flexibilities in operating their
State Medicaid Programs. Section 6062 of the DRA allows States the
opportunity to provide Medicaid benefits to disabled children who
would otherwise be ineligible because of family income that is
above the State's highest Medicare eligibility standards for
children. It specifically allows families with disabled children to
"buy-in" to Medicaid, and prevents them from having to stay
impoverished, become impoverished, place their children in
out-of-home placements, or simply give up custody of their child in
order to access needed health care for their disabled
children.
