Summary:
This report summarizes the basic elements of Medicaid. Specifically, it describes federal Medicaid rules governing: (1) who is eligible, (2) what services are covered and how they are delivered, (3) how the program is financed and administered, (4) key provider reimbursement issues, and (5) the significant role of waivers in expanding eligibility and modifying services and health care delivery systems. It concludes with a history of Medicaid legislation enacted since 1996.
