Medicaid program; Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) performance review; notification procedures for changes in requirements, performance standards, and reapproval conditions--HCFA. Final rule.
This rule eliminates the requirement in the Medicaid regulations that HCFA meet certain Federal Register notification requirements for any changes in performance standards and other conditions for reapproval of State Medicaid Management Information Systems (MMISs), even if such Federal Register notice would not otherwise be required. An independent Federal Register publication requirement will remain in place with respect to changes in system requirements and other conditions for approval of MMISs. We believe that a revised process for notifying States and other concerned parties of changes in performance standards and other conditions of reapproval is appropriate and will facilitate the efficient issuance of revised MMIS review requirements and methodologies each year.
