TO: All Providers
The Alabama Medicaid Agency has rescinded the emergency amendment to the
Alabama State Plan to provide COVID-19 testing for uninsured individuals that
was effective March 18, 2020.
Alabama Medicaid received approval from CMS on May 11, 2020 for a
Disaster Relief State Plan Amendment allowing for coverage of COVID-19 testing
for the uninsured. Alabama Medicaid did not implement this coverage due to HRSA
(Health Resources and Services Administration) funds becoming available that
reimburse providers for COVID-19 testing and treatment of uninsured
individuals.
CMS
has recommended that Alabama Medicaid rescind this Disaster Relief State Plan Amendment
and resubmit if needed in the future.
