Pennsylvania Approved for 1115 Demonstration for Incarcerated Individuals
On December 26, CMS approved Pennsylvania’s new 1115 demonstration titled, “Keystones of Health.” The state received authority to provide limited coverage for eligible incarcerated individuals for up to 90 days prior to the individual’s anticipated date of release from state prison or county jail. This approval also provides expenditure authority for certain housing and nutrition-related services to eligible Medicaid beneficiaries based on clinical and social risk criteria. The demonstration is effective through December 31, 2029.
