While some are already celebrating the success of CHIP reauthorization in covering millions more kids, if you're reading this blog, you probably realize that the
number of questions raised by the new law rivals the number of children that
need coverage. The law provides states with enough information to move forward on many fronts, but as they do, questions will inevitably come up. For instance, how will CMS determine whether states meet the "5
of 8" policies required for the Medicaid
performance bonus?
In a recent State
Health Official letter, CMS announced an e-mail address where it will
accept many of these questions. The inbox at CMSOCHIPRAQuestions@cms.hhs.gov
is reportedly ready to receive inquiries regarding the reauthorization
act. While we're not sure just when
answers will be forthcoming, it's a good sign that CMS is open to questions
from those who will be putting CHIPRA to work.
