Abstract: The Medicaid State base plan pages and attachments are documents utilized by State and territorial agencies which have the responsibility for administering the Medicaid program. The Medicaid State plan is comprised of "pages" and organized by subject matter which include Medicaid eligibility (Section 2), services (Section 3), payment for services (Section 4), and general, financial and personnel administration (Sections 1, 5, 6, 7). When States or territories seek to change selected pages of their State plans, the page(s) are transmitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for review and approval by the CMS Central and Regional Offices prior to amending its State plan. Associated with the "CMS-179", a one page cover page that is included in every State plan amendment, the base State plan pages contain approximately 150 documents, and the Attachments and Supplements contain approximately 500 documents that correspond to implementing regulations in the CFR and statutes in the Social Security Act. The base and plan page documents have the same OMB approval number as the CMS-179. The present revision of the current collection is to revise and update selected pages to comply with Federal laws and regulations.
