| CMS seeks stakeholder input on barriers to health care access and coverage for underserved families and communities. As part of the Biden-Harris Administration's work to advance health equity and reduce health disparities, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a Request for Information (RFI) seeking feedback on topics related to health care access, such as enrolling in and maintaining coverage, accessing health care services and supports, and ensuring adequate provider payment rates to encourage provider availability and quality. This RFI is one of many actions CMS is taking to develop a more comprehensive access strategy in its Medicaid and CHIP programs. RFI comments are due April 18, 2022. We need your feedback to aid in CMS' understanding of enrollees' barriers to enrolling in and maintaining coverage and accessing needed health care services and support through Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This information will help inform future polices, monitoring, and regulatory actions, helping ensure beneficiaries have equitable access to high-quality and appropriate care across all Medicaid and CHIP payment and delivery systems, including fee-for-service, managed care, and alternative payment models. The RFI submissions will also inform CMS' work to ensure timely access to critical services, such as behavioral health care and home and community-based services. The RFI seeks feedback from a diverse set of stakeholders on a broad set of topics from ensuring adequate payment rates to encouraging provider availability and quality, to culturally and linguistically competent care and reducing gaps in health care coverage. Interested parties may access the RFI questions and provide comment on Medicaid.gov. RFI comments are due April 18, 2022.
