The Office of Management and Budget released their Unified Regulatory Agenda (URA). The URA, which is updated twice each year, serves as an indicator of discrete regulatory priorities of the Administration and a timeline for expected action. However, the timelines are often aspirational and should not be viewed as hard and fast deadlines. The URA for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services includes several Medicaid-oriented proposals, including:
- Streamlining the Medicaid and CHIP Application, Eligibility Determination, Enrollment, and Renewal Processes
- Medicaid Drug Misclassification, Beneficiary Access Protection, and Drug Program Administration
- Mandatory Medicaid and CHIP Core Set Reporting
- Medicaid Managed Care Risk-Sharing Mechanisms
- Temporary Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) increase under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act
