PROPOSED CHANGES Idaho Medicaid intends to submit a 1915(c) Aged and Disabled (A&D) Waiver amendment to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Updates to the A&D waiver include: • Service rate changes and addition of a Case Management service approved during the 2024 and 2025 Legislative sessions. • Removing the option for Legally Responsible Individuals (spouses) as caregivers for Attendant Care services in alignment with changes in the State’s 1115 Demonstration Waiver amendment that discontinues Family Personal Care Services (FPCS) effective July 2025. CMS approved this amendment on May 15, 2025. • Geographic service areas and managed care organizations offering the Idaho Medicaid Plus and MMCP dual plans and reference updates related to Idaho Code or Statute changes approved during the 2025 Legislative session. These changes are consistent with Idaho Code 56-2201 Legislative Approval Required, Idaho Senate Bill S1108 Appropriations – Health And Human Services (2025), and Idaho Senate Bill S1201 Appropriations – Health And Welfare – Medicaid (2025). The Department intends to submit this amendment to CMS with a requested effective date of January 1, 2026. The Department attests that Medicaid payment rates in the aggregate (including base and supplemental payments) following the proposed reduction or restructuring for each benefit category affected by the proposed reduction or restructuring would be at or above eighty percent (80%) of the most recently published Medicare payment rates for the same or a comparable set of Medicare-covered services. The Department attests that the proposed reduction or restructuring, including the cumulative effect of all reductions or restructurings taken throughout the current State fiscal year, would be likely to result in no more than a four percent (4%) reduction in aggregate fee-for-service Medicaid expenditures for each benefit category affected by proposed reduction or restructuring within a State fiscal year. ESTIMATE OF EXPECTED CHANGE IN ANNUAL AGGREGATE EXPENDITURES There is no expected increase or decrease in annual aggregate expenditures. PUBLIC REVIEW When available, copies of the draft pages will be posted on the IDHW website at https://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/about-dhw/rules-policies-procedures-and-waivers under “Medicaid policies” (PUBLIC-DOCUMENTS > About DHW > Policies & Standards > Medicaid > Medicaid Public Notices).
