For the past several months after each meeting of the Medicaid Commission, individual commissioners submitted recommendations on the topic being discussed at each meeting. These topics included: eligibility of beneficiaries, long-term care, quality, information technology, and systemswide program administration.

The staff of the Medicaid Commission would then compile in a chart-form those recommendations and send them out to all members of the Commission. The attachments to this document include each of those compilations, as well as a listing of each commissioner's recommendations. These will be the basis for the selection of the final recommendations. Please look at the "Road Map" for the Commission for a schedule of this final process.

If you have any questions or comments, please call or e-mail Commissioner Gwen Gillenwater at 202-457-0046 ex 26.

Please Note: This compilation includes the most recent proposals submission, on Systemwide Administration reform, that were due on September 25th – we will not be providing a separate document with only those submissions. For simplicity, we have instead put together one final compilation of all of the submissions, including those received for the final submission deadline. As you will notice, we have created a quick reference catalog for Systemwide Administration proposals (# 6 above), just as we have for the other 4 modules (eligibility, long-term care, quality, and information technology).

You no longer need to refer to the previous compilations or catalogs: the above documents capture the entirety of submissions and should be used in place of previous versions. As before, the compilation contains each of your submissions as you presented them to us. We have made no modifications except minor formatting for consistency and flow. Within each reference catalog, the number in the “Additional info/details?” column references the page number where you can locate the full submission in the attached compilation of all submissions. This field is only used for submissions that included additional information about the proposal, such as implementation requirements, background data, etc. Within the catalogs minimal editing occurred for the purpose of formatting and in a few instances select elements of a proposal may have been summarized. Some submissions were placed in the module where the proposal is most relevant, which may be different than the module in which it was originally submitted. However, no substantive changes were made to any catalog entry.
