NAMD Requests that the Biden Administration Prioritize State-Federal Medicaid Partnership and COVID Relief
On December 14, 2020, NAMD sent a letter to the Biden transition team outlining Medicaid Directors’ key requests to address the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthen the state-federal partnership that underlies the Medicaid program.
In this letter, NAMD requested that the Biden Administration:
- Commit to a sustained and durable partnership with states
- Support Medicaid in its role in COVID-19 vaccination efforts
- Provide certainty around future COVID-19 Public Health Emergency declaration renewals
- Work with states to advance equity in the Medicaid program
- Provide guidance on expectations for states when the Public Health Emergency expires
- Maintain current flexibilities around continuous enrollment during the Public Health Emergency
- Address several near-term regulatory timelines and requirements that challenge state staff capacity during the pandemic
You can read NAMD’s cover letter here, our state/federal partnership principles here, and our COVID-19 requests here.
