On January 26, 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) forwarded the final Medicaid Access Rule (CMS-2442-F) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the last review step before Federal Register publication.
The proposed Medicaid Access Rule contained a number of policies, including the much-discussed 80/20 provision that would require 80 percent of all Medicaid payments to be spent on direct care workers and direct service professionals compensation for personal care services.
RCPA commented on these proposed regulations and will continue to monitor progress with our federal partners. The OMB is expected to issue its comments in April. If you have questions, please contact RCPA Policy Director Fady Sahhar.
