In the letter to Dan Tsai, deputy administrator and director of the Center for Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program services, Texas Medicaid director Stephanie Stephens said CMS’ offer didn’t provide enough clarity. Ms. Stephens asked CMS for more details on the agency’s proposed funding extension.
