- Statement by Joan Alker, Senior Researcher, Georgetown Univ. Healthpolicy Institute, On Mississippi's Section 1115 Medicaid Waiver
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement by Joan Alker, Senior Researcher, Georgetown University Health Policy Institute, on Mississippi's Section 1115 Medicaid waiver granted today by The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services: -- The vast majority of seniors and persons with disabilities - 48,000 or about 72 percent -- will still lose Medicaid coverage entirely under the waiver.

- ; New Plan Will Force Pharmacies Out of Business & Hurt Patient Care
DALLAS, Sept. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmacy Choice and Access Now (PCAN) - a coalition of consumers, local businesses and pharmacists across the nation and Texas committed to preserving quality and affordable health care - today called on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to reconsider their preliminary approval of Texas' waiver implementing a new Medicaid managed care plan switching pharmacy, among other health care services, to a managed-care model. PCAN believes the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) should reject the State of Texas' proposed Section 1115 waiver now pending before the agency, citing a precipitous decline in reimbursement rates that will force pharmacies out of business, as well as threaten patient services and access to care.

- Medicaid Program; State Plan Home and Community-Based Services, 5-Year Period for Waivers, Provider Payment Reassignment, and Setting Requirements for Community First Choice
This proposed rule would revise Medicaid regulations to define and describe State plan home and community-based services (HCBS) under the Social Security Act (the Act) as added by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and amended by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act \1\). This proposed rule offers States new flexibility in providing necessary and appropriate services to elderly and disabled populations and reflects CMS' commitment to the general principles of the President's Executive Order released January 18, 2011, entitled ``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review.'' In particular, this rule does not require the eligibility link between HCBS and institutional care that exists under the Medicaid HCBS waiver program. This regulation would descri...
