The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is making available planning grants to state Medicaid and CHIP agencies to develop operational capabilities to promote continuity of care for individuals who are inmates of a public institution and are eligible for medical assistance under the state Medicaid program or are eligible for child health assistance or pregnancy-related assistance under the state Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Eligibility
Eligible Applicants
- State

Only one application may be submitted for a given state or territory. The term “state Medicaid agency” means the single state agency for medical assistance provided under Title XIX and Title XXI of the Act while the term “state CHIP agency” means the state agency responsible for administering the state CHIP plan under Title XXI of the Act. Further, if a state administers their Medicaid and separate CHIP programs through separate agencies, both agencies must agree to work together and submit one application per state. A Tribal organization, if interested, must come under the auspices of and work with the state Medicaid or CHIP agency in the implementation of this initiative.
