The letter supports CMS’ efforts to streamline verification of Medicaid community engagement requirements through automated, data-driven processes while expressing concern that manual verification of exemptions will increase administrative burden and lead to eligible individuals losing coverage. HLC’s recommendations include greater flexibility in verification and exclusion processes, reduced documentation burdens, and implementation changes aimed at minimizing coverage disruptions and supporting successful state adoption.
