The Business Owner POC may need to get in touch with the relevant Medicaid/CHIP State Agency directly to verify that the user requesting access is valid.

To reset your password for MACPro, go to the link https://portal.cms.gov  and click the blue link that says "Forgot Password" under the blue log in button on the right side of the screen.

The State has the option to allow CMS to view the information in a submission package prior to submission informally by using the "Allow CMS to View" functionality. The CMS Point of Contact, Submission Review Team, and Subject Matter Expert have the ability to view these submission packages once the state has initiated the function. Please Note: This option will permit the CMS review team to see the screens in this submission package as they appear currently. It does not cause the package to be submitted as Draft or Official, and does not start a CMS review clock. Validation of the screens is not required. States must notify their CMS contact that viewing is available; MACPro does not notify CMS staff. States can deselect this option at any time

To access the submission package, go to the "Records" tab and then select "Submission Packages". Next select the link to the submission package and then in the left panel, select "Reviewable Units". You may then select the blue links to each Reviewable Unit to view the data entered by the state.
