The State Medicaid Agencies will complete the template. CMS will review the information to determine if the state has met all the requirements under 1932(a)(1)(A) and 42 CFR 438.50. Once the all the requirements are met, the state will be allowed to enroll Medicaid beneficiaries on a mandatory basis into managed care entities without section 1115 or 1915(b) waiver authority.
Despite the number of revisions made to the document, the burden remains the same. While some questions requiring descriptive responses were added, many were deleted and others were put into simpler âcheck boxâ tables and questions. We believe the additional and reduced burden are balanced and result in no net change.
Based on more recent data we are adjusting the number of responses from 15/year to 12/year. The result is a burden decrease of -15 hours. As indicated, our per response time estimates are unchanged.
