Information Collection #6: Medicaid Buy In Payment Suspensions

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) work in partnership with States to implement Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Together these programs provide health coverage to millions of Americans. Medicaid and CHIP are based in Federal statute, associated regulations and policy guidance, and the approved State plan documents that serve as a contract between CMS and States about how Medicaid and CHIP will be operated in that State. CMS works collaboratively with States in the ongoing management of programs and policies, and CMS continues to develop implementing guidance and templates for States to use to elect new options available as a result of the Affordable Care Act or to comply with new statutory provisions. CMS also continues to work with States through other methods to further the goals of health reform, including program waivers and demonstrations, and other technical assistance initiatives.
CMS is requesting to collect regarding the Medicaid Infrastructure Grants. Section 201 of Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act governs the provision of health care services to workers with severe disabilities by establishing a Medicaid state plan buy-in optional eligibility groups. As part of the Medicaid Infrastructure Grants (MIG) terms and conditions, States must submit finder files with Medicaid Buy In (MBI) beneficiary information. This information is used to track Buy-In policy changes over time and has contributed to many of Mathematica’s reports, including the annual Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) report for CMS and Congress.
No deviations are requested.
The total approved burden ceiling of the generic ICR is 86,240 hours, and CMS previously requested to use 7,840 hours, leaving our burden ceiling at 78,400 hours. CMS estimates that each State will complete the collection of data and submission to CMS within 20 hours. There is a potential universe of 35 respondents, so the total burden deducted from the total for this request is 700 hours.
CMS hopes to deploy this collection in April 2012.
