On November 18, 2019, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a proposed rule addressing a variety of issues including Medicaid supplemental payments, methods of financing the non-federal share (including provider taxes and donations) and corresponding State reporting requirements. This proposed Medicaid Fiscal Accountability Rule (MFAR) will have significant implications for the ways in which States finance Medicaid programs and pay for Medicaid services.
The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) prepared a summary document on Jan. 17, and submitted comment to CMS on January 31, 2020 regarding the proposed rule.
