Demonstration Waiver Progress
Providers,
recipients, and other interested individuals
are invited to provide comments on
the progress of the Alabama
Medicaid Plan First Section 1115 Demonstration Waiver
during a virtual public forum on May 3, 2023.
The forum is a requirement by the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the Section 1115
Demonstration Waiver under which the Plan First program operates. The waiver
was originally approved in 2000, and it was renewed
by CMS on November 27, 2017. The current waiver
will expire on September 30, 2023. Alabama Medicaid
Plan First has submitted for renewal of this waiver.
The goal of the Plan First
program is to reduce unintended pregnancies and improve the well-being of
Alabama’s children and families by extending Medicaid
eligibility for family
planning services to eligible
women and men.
