Today, the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) posted additional
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to Medicaid.gov, to aid state
Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) agencies in their
response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The new
FAQs cover a variety of Medicaid and CHIP topics, including:
- Eligibility and Enrollment;
- Notice and Fair Hearings;
- Optional COVID-Testing Group FAQs;
- Premiums and Cost Sharing;
- Benefits;
- Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT);
- Information Technology; and
- Financing
These new FAQs have been integrated
into the previously released COVID-19 FAQ document, as we have done
with prior updates. We are also posting a standalone
document containing only the new questions. We will continue to
review incoming questions and provide responses with ongoing updates to
these FAQs.
The information released today furthers CMS’s commitment to
providing our state partners the resources they need during this public
health emergency, and earlier CMS actions in response to the COVID-19
crisis are all part of ongoing White House Coronavirus Task Force efforts.
To keep up with the important work the Task Force is doing in response to
COVID-19, click here: www.coronavirus.gov. For
a complete and updated list of CMS actions, guidance, and other information
in response to the COVID-19 virus, please visit the Current
Emergencies Website. Additionally,
CMS has launched a dedicated, Medicaid.gov,
COVID-19 resource page that will be
continually updated with relevant information.
