Following up on the Commission’s discussion at the January 2024 public meeting on policy options for improving the transparency of Medicaid financing, staff presented draft text for proposed recommendations for MACPAC’s June 2024 report to Congress. The proposed recommendations are intended to improve the transparency of Medicaid financing methods, state-level financing amounts, and provider-level financing amounts. The presentation also included a proposed recommendation to apply the proposed Medicaid financing transparency requirements to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
The presentation reviews the rationale for the recommendations and the implications for various stakeholders.
