On January 9, 2017, Washington State received federal approval of its request for a Section 1115 demonstration waiver, the Medicaid Transformation Project Demonstration.

Washington State is requesting an amendment to the waiver to include the following:

The state is requesting expenditure authority to claim Federal Financial Participation (FFP) for services provided to Medicaid beneficiaries aged 21-64 who receive inpatient services in a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Institution for Mental Disease (IMD); and
The state is requesting corrections to the Special Terms and Conditions to ensure the terms accurately reflect the agreement between the state and CMS.

The Health Care Authority is seeking public comment through February 2, 2018. To submit your feedback, email medicaidtransformation@hca.wa.gov.
