SUMMARY: This document reopens the comment period for the January 21,

State Providers for Medicaid-Eligible Children With Medically Complex 
Conditions''. That document requested information (RFI) to seek public 
comments regarding the coordination of care from out-of-state providers 
for Medicaid-eligible children with medically complex conditions. We 
wish to identify best practices for using out-of-state providers to 
provide care to children with medically complex conditions; determine 
how care is coordinated for such children when that care is provided by 
out-of-state providers, including when care is provided in emergency 
and nonemergency situations; reduce barriers that prevent such children 
from receiving care from out-of-state providers in a timely fashion; 
and identify processes for screening and enrolling out-of-state 
providers in Medicaid, including efforts to streamline such processes 
for out-of-state providers or to reduce the burden of such processes on 
them. We intend to use the information received in response to the RFI 
to issue guidance to state Medicaid directors on the coordination of 
care from out-of-state providers for children with medically complex 
conditions. The comment period for the RFI, which ended on March 23, 
2020, is reopened for 30 days from the date of publication of this 
notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Coordinating Care From Out-of-State 
Providers for Medicaid-Eligible Children With Medically Complex 
Conditions'' request for information (referred to in this document as 
the RFI) that appeared in the January 21, 2020 Federal Register (85 FR 
3330), CMS requested public comments regarding the coordination of care 
from out-of-state providers for Medicaid-eligible children with 
medically complex conditions. We wish to identify best practices for 
using out of-state providers to provide care to children with medically 
complex conditions; determine how care is coordinated for such children 
when that care is provided by out-of-state providers, including when 
care is provided in emergency and nonemergency situations; reduce 
barriers that prevent such children from receiving care from out-of-
state providers in a timely fashion; and identify processes for 
screening and enrolling out-of-state providers in Medicaid, including 
efforts to streamline such processes for out-of-state providers or to 
reduce the burden of such processes on them.
    Since the issuance of the RFI, the COVID-19 global pandemic has 
affected many businesses and individuals and impacted healthcare 
systems. Responding to the public health emergency has been a priority 
for many of the stakeholders whose input we value. In addition, some

reopening the public comment period in this instance would further our 
overall objective to obtain public input. Therefore, we are reopening 
the comment period for the RFI for an additional 30 days from the date 
of publication of this notice.
