Medicaid Managed Care Delivery Options (210-RICR-30-05-2)

Regulation Authority:

R.I. Gen. Laws Chapters 40-6 and 40-8
as amended; Title XIX of the Social Security Act
115th Cong. (2018)

Purpose and Reason:

EOHHS is revising regulation to remove the incorrect Parent/Caretaker income threshold.  The agency incorrectly implemented a threshold of 136% FPL (141% with the 5% disregard) for which the agency does not have authority. 

Additionally, EOHHS is removing language that describes the Medicaid Consumer Advisory Committee.  The work of this group will transition to the Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC) which the State will be implementing as it is a required provision of the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services Final Rule (Access Final Rule). 

Technical revisions are also included in this amendment.
