Can the State Operations and Technical Assistance Team (SOTA) calls replace the requirement for submitting an 1115 transition plan?

The SOTA calls cannot replace the submission of a transition plan, as the plan is a required deliverable under the State's Special Terms and Conditions. However, we expect to use the SOTA calls as a platform for transition planning discussions. We are also available for additional calls with States as needed. We can accept as the State's required early deliverable, a summary of the issues that the State needs to address in the transition plan, given the specific features of its waiver and plans for 2014. We will work with States in subsequent months to fully develop the transition plan to ensure it is in place in time for 2014.

If a State's demonstration is expiring in 2012, can the State request an extension?

Yes. CMS will continue to consider section 1115 demonstration extension requests. However, the State's proposal must include a plan to address changes in its demonstration that would need to take place to ensure readiness for 2014. Please also note that extension requests are subject to the recently issued transparency final rule (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR- 2012-02-27/html/2012-4354.htm )and corresponding State Health Officials letter (http://www.medicaid.gov/Federal-Policy-Guidance/Downloads/SHO-12-001.pdf (PDF, 136.08 KB) (PDF 0 bytes)), which outlines the new public notice comment and process requirements.
