Medicaid Expansions

To assist in determining which federal health care reform provisions require states to submit amendments to their Medicaid state plan, the Center for Health Care Strategies, with support from the State Network, has developed a resource which catalogues required and optional provisions that may require amendments, including links to the applicable ACA text, deadlines for approval, and available guidance. 

This template, prepared by Manatt Health Solutions, was developed in order to help drive state decisions and is based on the eligibility business functions that state Exchanges and Medicaid agencies are required to support pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), and related federal implementation regulations.

Maryland’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene developed a white paper that outlines the continuity of care issues individuals will face as they transition between Medicaid and the Exchange.

This report, by the University of Nebraska Medical Center's Center for Health Policy, outlines how the optional Medcaid expansion would help lessen the impact of the hidden uncompensated care tax currently born by the insured population in Nebraska.

This memorandum, prepared at the request of the California Health Benefit Exchange, examines the impact of a Basic Health Program (BHP) on coverage in California.
