Today, CMS is issuing an Informational Bulletin to inform states about
new flexibilities for defining essential health benefits (EHB) in Medicaid
Alternative Benefit Plans (ABP) effective January 1, 2020. The bulletin
explains three new options available to states when choosing the benchmark
plans used to define EHB in its ABP. States with existing ABPs may continue
to use the benchmark plan they currently use to define EHB for ABPs, but
states selecting new benchmark plans to define EHB for ABPs are required to
use one of the new options beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The
bulletin also provides a reminder to states on state plan amendment (SPA)
submissions and ABP public notice requirements.
