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
