Review of June Report Chapter: Analysis of Mandatory and Optional Populations and Benefits

In January 2017, the Chairmen of the Senate Finance Committee, the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, and the Energy and Commerce Oversight Subcommittee requested a study on optional eligibility groups and optional benefits covered in each state. This presentation previews a draft of that study, to be published as Chapter 3 of the June 2017 Report to Congress on Medicaid and CHIP. Findings describe national and state-level enrollment and spending on mandatory and optional populations and services.
