The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is shifting its policy on section 1115 Medicaid waivers. | The Trump administration will adhere to a new policy on continuous eligibility and workforce development.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials will be given access to the personal data of the nation’s 79 million Medicaid enrollees, including home addresses and ethnicities, to track down immigrants who may not be living legally in the United States, according to an agreement obtained by The Associated Press.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services today issued two letters to states regarding policies on continuous eligibility and workforce initiatives.

In an about-face, the administration is cracking down on so-called skin substitutes, overused treatments that cost Medicare more than $10 billion last year.

The proposed rule would send an additional $8 billion to hospitals next year, but includes a number of other policies hospital groups have criticized.

Some physician groups are unhappy with the proposed changes to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2026 that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Monday. The fee schedule update varies depending on whether physicians are participating in an alternative payment model (APM).

Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz breaks down the changes to Medicaid, the impact on hospitals, its 60th anniversary and more on 'Varney & Co.'

The proposed rule would close a loophole that has allowed several states to get around the requirement that provider taxes redistribute Medicaid funds to a range of providers, not just the ones that paid the tax.
