This package sets out nonsubstantive changes.
This package does not involve any changes to form CMS-416 or to the instructions for completing the form or to the burden for completing the form.
CMS has experienced that reporting by states on the form CMS-416 can be uneven and inaccurate. CMS regularly receives inquiries from staff responsible for reporting the data. Those inquiries often evidence confusion about how to interpret the instructions. It is important that the data CMS receives from the states on the form CMS-416 be complete and accurate, and that the instructions be followed consistently across all states. To this end, CMS has developed these modules to provide an opportunity for more in-depth training about the instructions as well as context around the EPSDT benefit and the importance of the data CMS collects.
CMS is requesting approval to offer to states and their contractors a set of online training modules related to reporting on the dental lines of the CMS-416 form. Using the modules is entirely voluntary. They are intended to support states and their contractors to more accurately and completely report dental data to CMS.
