Forum Feature Conference Call with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Funded Pilot Update for Improving Medicaid Provider Eligibility through State Shared Services
Join the Collaborative Forum Conference Call to discuss the Improving Medicaid Provider Eligibility through State Shared Services funded pilot.
This pilot will produce and evaluate a prototype shared services
solution for states to verify Medicaid provider eligibility. This
solution is a component of the Medicaid Management Information System
(MMIS) that each state currently builds and maintains separately. Chip
Garner of CMS will explore the project purpose, deliverables produced,
pending project deliverables to be completed and overall goals and
expected outcomes of the project.
Pilot Summary:
The
pilot will test how open source technology reduces fraud and
administrative costs to states and the Federal government by enabling
multiple states to check Medicaid provider eligibility. This pilot will
inform the use of a shared services model for MMIS as a best practice
for States to adopt as they update their systems. A shared services
solution could significantly reduce state and Federal development costs
for MMIS, which are currently built separately in each state. Interstate
data sharing on provider eligibility may help states prevent provider
fraud.
