SNAP has submitted formal comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in response to that agency’s February request for information on access to care and coverage for people enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP.
SNAP’s response focuses on three areas:
- the adequacy of Medicaid payments to providers as a means of fostering greater access to care and health equity for vulnerable populations
- monitoring the adequacy of access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries
- improving the Medicaid eligibility redetermination process
