The rules provide more specifics in determining Medicaid eligibility, managing appeals for denied claims, and verifying access to employer-sponsored insurance. The changes will not add new costs to states.

In a release, CMS said the rules give states greater flexibility to design benefits and operate state exchanges, while granting greater consistency in communicating benefits to consumers and tailoring the appeals process.
