This final rule implements several provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act). The Affordable Care Act expands access to health insurance coverage through improvements to the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance (CHIP) programs, the establishment of Affordable Insurance Exchanges (``Exchanges''), and the assurance of coordination between Medicaid, CHIP, and Exchanges. This final rule codifies policy and procedural changes to the Medicaid and CHIP programs related to eligibility, enrollment, renewals, public availability of program information and coordination across insurance affordability programs.

When Pres Bush signed the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) on February 8, 2006, a stated goal was to reduce the federal Medicaid budget by $5 billion over the next 10 years. The law's opponents see the measure as placing a unfair burden on older Americans, because it will make it harder for them to receive assistance from Medicaid when they face the substantial cost of nursing home care. While CPAs need not become fluent in the intricacies of federal Medicaid law, they should be aware of major changes in order to develop a sound elder-care plan.

The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 ("MMA") provided a new prescription drug benefit for millions of Americans who receive healthcare through Medicare. However, for those individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, "dual eligibles," the change has proved harmful. Prior to the MMA, states provided prescription drug benefits to their dual eligibles through Medicaid. The MMA prohibited states from providing this coverage by mandating that dual eligibles' prescription drug benefits would solely be provided through Medicare. Neither the dual eligibles nor the states are receiving the benefits promised. The transition from Medicaid to Medicare was not smooth, as there were lapses in coverage for dual eligibles and increased prescription drug costs. In addition, the MMA was inte...
