Abstract: CMS is in the process of evaluating Medicaid systems currently operating, in order to build an enterprise architecture platform and data repository. Ideally, CMS would allow for a single point of entry to access various program and operational data applications. This effort will be implemented in phases over several years. Phase 1 will provide for a Medicaid and CHIP Program data system (MACPro) accessed through a web portal/portlet that will automate the input and retrieval of data from the states related to CHIP eligibility and Alternative Benchmark Plans (ABP). This system will also support an efficient workflow for the review and approval of the CHIP and ABP process. States will access this system and submit program information into structured data templates. CMS staff will review the templates for compliance with federal statute, regulation and policy, provide feedback to the states and track/monitor the review and approval process. Future project phasing will provide for the design, delivery and implementation of financial management programs and performance and quality metrics. CMS must meet a hard deadline for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. This system will be operational in phases with the CHIP eligibility and benchmark plans portions/modules to be implemented in January 2013.
