CMS Medicaid Hearing, November 1, 2007

On November 1, 2007, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing on regulations issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that would make major, wide-ranging changes in federal Medicaid policy. In general, the seven regulations at issue represent unilateral actions by CMS neither directed nor authorized by Congress. The Committee heard testimony from the principal author of the regulations, Dennis Smith, the Director of the Centers for Medicaid and State Operations within CMS. According to the Administration, the regulations would reduce federal Medicaid payments to states by a total of more than $15 billion over the next five years.
