Access Monitoring Review Plan

In 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) established regulations (42 CFR § 447.203) for states to document whether Medicaid payments are sufficient to enlist providers to assure beneficiary access to covered services. These regulations require states to develop and submit an access monitoring review plan (AMRP or Plan), every three years, for selected service categories. The Plan must present an access monitoring analysis including data sources, methodologies, baselines and assumptions. 2016-2018 Access Monitoring Review Plan (AMHRP)
