The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) has released its “March 2013 Report to the Congress on Medicaid and CHIP,” including both policy recommendations and data updates. The policy recommendations address implementation of ACA provisions designed to expand health insurance coverage. First, MACPAC recommends that Congress create a statutory option for states to implement 12-month continuous eligibility for children enrolled in CHIP and adults enrolled in Medicaid, in conformance with policies in effect for children in Medicaid (the report notes that the option will otherwise be removed under new income-counting eligibility standards). Second, MACPAC recommends that Congress permanently fund Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA), while allowing states to opt out of the program if they expand to the new adult group added by the ACA. The report also includes a discussion of various policy issues involving the dually eligible Medicare and Medicaid population, and it provides an update to its MACStats data supplement.
