Information submitted via the State
Plan Amendment(SPA) pre-print will be used by CMS Central and
Regional Offices to analyze a State's proposal to implement

it to CMS for a comprehensive analysis. The preprint provides the
opportunity for States to confirm that their integrated care model
complies with both Federal statutory and regulatory requirements.
The preprint contains assurances, check-off items, and areas for
States to describe policies and procedures for subjects such as
enrollment, marketing, and quality assurance.
