AGENCY: This notice announces an administrative hearing to be held on January 7, 2015, at the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Division of Medicaid & Children’s Health, Chicago Regional Office, 233 N. Michigan, Avenue Suite 600 Chicago, Illinois 60601–5519, to reconsider CMS’ decision to disapprove Ohio’s Medicaid SPA 14–002. CLOSING DATE: Requests to participate in the hearing as a party must be received by the presiding officer by December 18, 2014. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benjamin R. Cohen, Presiding Officer, CMS, 2520 Lord Baltimore Drive, Suite L, Baltimore, Maryland 21244, Telephone: (410) 786–3169. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces an administrative hearing to reconsider CMS’ decision to disapprove Ohio’s Medicaid SPA 14– 002 which was submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on February 28, 2014 and disapproved on August 29, 2014. In part, this SPA requested CMS approval of the state’s proposal to exclude from the definition of an inmate any individual under age 19 who is residing in a juvenile detention facility and has not yet been adjudicated. The issues to be considered at the hearing are: • Whether Ohio Medicaid SPA 14– 002 complied with the statutory requirement in section 1902(a)(10)(A) of tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:42 Dec 02, 2014 Jkt 235001 the Social Security Act (the Act), which provides that the state plan must provide for making ‘‘medical assistance’’ available to eligible individuals. This section incorporates by reference the definition of medical assistance in section 1905(a) of the Act, which specifically provides, in the text following paragraph (29), that ‘‘. . . such term does not include—(A) any such payments with respect to care and services for any individual who is an inmate of a public institution (except as a patient in a medical institution). . . .’’ This exclusion is not limited based on the age of the inmate. • Whether the individuals specified in Ohio 14–002 are not inmates because they are individuals ‘‘in a public institution for a temporary period, pending other living arrangements appropriate to his needs,’’ as specified in 42 CFR 435.1010 when they are involuntarily incarcerated in a public institution who have not yet been adjudicated. Section 1116 of the Act and federal regulations at 42 CFR part 430, establish Department procedures that provide an administrative hearing for reconsideration of a disapproval of a state plan or plan amendment. CMS is required to publish a copy of the notice to a state Medicaid agency that informs the agency of the time and place of the hearing, and the issues to be considered. If we subsequently notify the agency of additional issues that will be considered at the hearing, we will also publish that notice. Any individual or group that wants to participate in the hearing as a party must petition the presiding officer within 15 days after publication of this notice, in accordance with the requirements contained at 42 CFR 430.76(b)(2). Any interested person or organization that wants to participate as amicus curiae must petition the presiding officer before the hearing begins in accordance with the requirements contained at 42 CFR 430.76(c). If the hearing is later rescheduled, the presiding officer will notify all participants. The notice to Ohio announcing an administrative hearing to reconsider the disapproval of its SPA reads as follows: Mr. John McCarthy Director Ohio Department of Medicaid 50 West Town Street, Suite 400 Columbus, OH 43215 Dear Mr. McCarthy: I am responding to your request for reconsideration of the decision to disapprove Ohio’s Medicaid state plan amendment (SPA) 14–002, which was PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on February 28, 2014 and disapproved on August 29, 2014. I am scheduling a hearing on your request for reconsideration to be held on January 07, 2015, at the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Division of Medicaid & Children’s Health, Chicago Regional Office, 233 N. Michigan, Avenue Suite 600 Chicago, Illinois 60601–5519. In part, this SPA requested CMS approval of the state’s proposal to exclude from the definition of an inmate any individual under age 19 who is residing in a juvenile detention facility and has not yet been adjudicated. In its submission the state included the proposed change in the eligibility section of the state plan. However, this is not an eligibility issue, but is related to availability of federal financial participation (FFP) for services. In the event that CMS and the state come to agreement on resolution of the issues, which formed the basis for disapproval, these SPAs may be moved to approval prior to the scheduled hearing. During the reconsideration process, no federal financial participation (FFP) is available for services provided to individuals under age 19 residing in juvenile detention centers or other correctional institutions; except for inpatient care in a medical institution. The issues to be considered at the hearing are: • Whether Ohio Medicaid SPA 14– 002 complied with the statutory requirement in section 1902(a)(10)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act), which provides that the state plan must provide for making ‘‘medical assistance’’ available to eligible individuals. This section incorporates by reference the definition of medical assistance in section 1905(a) of the Act, which specifically provides, in the text following paragraph (29), that ‘‘. . . such term does not include—(A) any such payments with respect to care and services for any individual who is an inmate of a public institution (except as a patient in a medical institution) . . .’’ This exclusion is not limited based on the age of the inmate. • Whether the individuals specified in Ohio 14–002 are not inmates because they are individuals ‘‘in a public institution for a temporary period, pending other living arrangements appropriate to his needs,’’ as specified in 42 CFR 435.1010 when they are involuntarily incarcerated in a public institution who have not yet been adjudicated.
