Medicaid program; relation with other agencies and miscellaneous Medicaid definitions--Health Care Financing Administration. Proposed rule.
We proposed to amend the Medicaid regulations to allow States the option of paying cost sharing amounts for Medicaid beneficiaries who are covered under Medicare Part B "Buy-in" agreements. We also propose to revise several definitions and clarify ambiguities in existing Medicaid regulations. The proposed definition changes are related to private duty nursing services, inpatient psychiatric services, inpatient and outpatient and outpatient. All changes are a part of the Department's regulatory reform effort which targets for revision those regulations that are ambiguous or that have been identified as problematic.
