USIS State Medicaid Capabilities
State Medicaid Challenges
The release of Final Rule 6028-FC by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) substantially alters the enrollment standards that apply to Medicaid providers/suppliers and
puts them under greater scrutiny. Its intent is to combat fraud by enhancing screening for providers/suppliers enrolling and re-enrolling in state Medicaid programs.
The Final Rule directs state Medicaid agencies to use screening measures initially created for the Medicare program. Any prior screening measures will continue, with measures added for certain types of enrollees. The agencies must screen all initial provider/supplier applicants, including requests for new practice locations, as well as applications for re-enrollment or revalidation. Going forward, all providers will also be assigned a risk category.
