Under the new initiative, states may request the 90 percent enhanced matching funds from CMS to connect a wider variety of Medicaid providers, including long-term care, behavioral health, and substance abuse treatment centers, to a health information exchange. The move is anticipated to both increase connectivity among Medicaid providers and improve the sustainability of health information exchanges. According to the blog post, the initiative is not just about technology, but about better serving Medicaid beneficiaries and improving population health. It underscores the flow of information physicians depend upon in making decisions is hampered when not all physicians and practice areas are connected.
