Medicaid Program-Review and Approval Process for Section 1115 Demonstrations

This proposed rule would implement provisions of section 10201(i) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act) that set forth transparency and public notice procedures for experimental, pilot, and demonstration projects approved under section 1115 of the Social Security Act relating to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This proposed rule would increase the degree to which information about Medicaid and CHIP demonstration applications and approved demonstration projects are publicly available and promote greater transparency in the review and approval of demonstrations. It would also codify existing statutory requirements pertaining to tribal consultation for section 1115 demonstration projects.

DATES: To be assured consideration, comments must be received at one of the addresses provided below, no later than 5 p.m. on November 16, 2010.
