Medicaid program; state plans and grants to states--HCFA. Final rules with comment period
Abstract:
These regulations amend Medicaid regulations to incorporate the applicable provisions of 45 CFR Parts 201, 204, 205, and 213. The intent is two-fold: To update and simplify the existing regulations, as they apply to Medicaid program, to reflect current organizational and staff titles (e.g, "HCFA" instead of "SRS" or the "the Service"; "Regional Administrator" instead of "Regional Medicaid Director"), and minor procedural changes. To incorporate the revised regulations in 42 CFR Part 430 so that users of Medicaid regulations need not search in Title 45 for these provisions. These regulations also amend regulations at 45 CFR Parts 201, 204, 205, 211, 212, 213, and 282 relating to federally assisted State public assistance programs to make nomenclature and other technical changes to reflect changes in organization and delegations of authority.
