Abstract

The Department has made the following requests to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to continue serving Medicaid members during the COVID-19 emergency. *The Department is doing a gradual return to regular processes. The federal flexibilities will remain in place and can be used should a member have a documented need. CMS will provide the Department with a 60-day notice prior to the official end of the public health emergency, and at that time, further clarification on the ending of flexibilities will be communicated.
