Title or Subject: Medicaid State Plan Amendment (SPA) 20-0036 Remove Copay.

Effective Date: October 1, 2020.

Description: The health care authority (HCA) intends to submit medicaid SPA 20-0036 in order to remove language regarding client copayments. This information is outdated and does not reflect current agency policy; therefore it is necessary to remove this information from the state plan.

The copayment policy was not implemented; therefore this SPA is expected to have no effect on aggregate expenditures or payments.

A copy of proposed SPA 20-0036 is available upon request. HCA would appreciate any input or concerns regarding this SPA. To request a copy of the SPA or submit comments, please contact the person named below (please note that all comments are subject to public review and disclosure, as are the names of those who comment).
