NFIB comments in response to "Medicaid Program: Reassignment of Medicaid Provider Claims," CMS-2413-P, are attached.

Abstract

This proposed rule would remove the regulatory text that allows a state to make payments to third parties on behalf of an individual provider forbenefits such as health insurance, skills training, and other benefits customary for employees. We are concerned that these provisions are overbroad, and insufficiently linked to the exceptions expressly permitted by the statute. As we noted in our prior rulemaking, section 1902(a)(32) of the Act provides for a number of exceptions to the direct payment requirement, but it does not authorize the agency to create new exceptions.
