Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a Center Informational Bulletin (CIB) to introduce a series of tools and toolkits for states and CMS to utilize in improving the monitoring and oversight of managed care in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) which will help increase beneficiaries’ access to care.
This CIB also provides guidance setting the content and format of the Annual Managed Care Program Report required by CMS regulations at 42 CFR § 438.66(e)(1). The annual report is part of CMS’ overall strategy to improve access to care by supporting Federal and state monitoring of access for Medicaid beneficiaries within a managed care delivery system. Finally, the CIB introduces additional resources and technical assistance toolkits that states can use to improve compliance with managed care standards and requirements.
