Medicaid payment to providers is
funded jointly by states and the federal government according to a
statutorily set formula that determines the Federal Medical
Assistance Percentage (FMAP) for individual states. The FMAP varies
among states but cannot be less than 50 percent. This provision of
the Affordable Care Act modified the FMAP to equal 100 percent for
the difference between the rate in effect July 1, 2009, and in CYs
2013 and 2014. In order to receive this enhanced funding, states
must submit information to document any expenditure eligible for
100 percent federal matching funds. In this request, the collection
of information will be used to document expenditures for the
specified primary care services in the baseline period and to
calculate the expenditure eligible for 100 federal matching funds
in calendar years 2013 and 2014. Without that baseline, states
would not have a supportable basis for claiming 100 percent federal
matching funds.
