The OIG has issued a report evaluating state standards for access to care for Medicaid managed care program enrollees, an issue which the OIG notes has taken on heightened importance as enrollment in such programs grows. Based on a review of the 33 states with comprehensive, "full risk" Medicaid managed care, the OIG concluded that state standards for access to care vary widely. For example, state standards for primary care providers range from one primary care provider for every 100 enrollees to one provider for every 2,500 enrollees. The OIG also pointed out varying state strategies to assess compliance with access standards, and noted that most states did not identify any violations of such standards over a five-year period. The OIG recommend that CMS: (1) strengthen its oversight of state standards, including ensuring that states develop standards for key provider types; (2) strengthen its oversight of states’ methods to assess access standard compliance; (3) improve states’ efforts to identify and address violations of access standards; and (4) provide technical assistance to states. CMS concurred with the recommendations.
