Title or Subject: Medicaid State Plan Amendment (SPA) 15-0033.

Effective Date: July 15, 2015.

Description: The health care authority (agency) intends to submit SPA 15-0033 to request a twelve-month exception period to the federal requirement for a recovery audit contractor (RAC). This is to allow the agency time to reevaluate the services to include in the RAC contract expected to be entered into before July 1, 2016. Because this SPA is requesting an exception, there will be no effect on annual aggregate expenditures.

The SPA is in the development process; therefore a copy is not yet available for review.
