CMS Proposed Rule on Medicaid Premiums & Cost Sharing

February 22, 2008 This rule would allow states to change Medicare premiums and cost sharing structures. The provisions are similar to what is allowed under the State Children's Health Insurance Program and will not change existing cost sharing rules for Medicaid beneficiaries with family income below 100% of the federal poverty level (FPL). Individuals with family incomes between 100% and 150% of the FPL may see some cost sharing, while monthly premiums could be charged to individuals with incomes above 150% of the FPL . . .
