Today,
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released guidance to
states supporting implementation of the Optional COVID-19 Testing (XXIII)
Group established by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)
for uninsured individuals for COVID-19 testing and testing-related
services.
This
guidance identifies the different requirements associated with implementing
the new group (including eligibility and enrollment, claiming, and data
reporting), and provides guidance on strategies that states may employ to
meet these requirements. It also describes flexibilities available to help
states streamline implementation of the new group. States can also refer to
Section B of the FFCRA
and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) posted April 13, 2020 for more detailed
information on the eligibility requirements, benefits, and Federal Medical
Assistance Percentage available for coverage under the optional COVID-19
testing group.
