The Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (the Affordable Care Act) applies new Medicaid eligibility
and enrollment business rules for seamless coordination between the
Medicaid and CHIP programs, and the Health Insurance Exchanges,
known as "the Exchanges". In cases where the State's Medicaid
Management Information System (MMIS), State's Eligibility
System(s), or State's Exchange requires the support of system
development and/or enhancement activities, States are eligible to
receive FFP at the enhanced rate, if the system(s) will be designed
and implemented to meet the seven standards and conditions. CMS has
developed the Expedited Checklist: Medicaid Eligibility &
Enrollment Information System(s) - Advance Planning Document
(E&E-APD) specific to this purpose, for eligibility and
enrollment system developments for State convenience.
