Here are the following two proposed rules:
• Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Programs eligibility: This proposed rule expands Medicaid and simplifies Medicaid and CHIP eligibility. It also promotes a simpler system of affordable coverage by coordinating Medicaid and CHIP with new health insurance exchanges. Additionally, this rule sets out the increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage rates and the related conditions and requirements that will be available for state medical assistance costs relating to “newly eligible” individuals.
• Exchange eligibility and employer standards: This proposed rule details the process and standards for enrolling in qualified health plans and insurance affordability programs. It also helps determine eligibility for health insurance exchanges and standards for employer participation in the Small Business Health Options Program.
