As part of the state-federal partnership in administering the Medicaid programs, the Centers for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) issues technical assistance in the form of letters to State Medicaid Directors, Informational Bulletins, Issue Briefs, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to communicate with states and other stakeholders regarding operational issues related to Medicaid. Managed care technical assistance is available to assist state Medicaid agencies in developing, enhancing, implementing, and evaluating managed care programs.
