“State Medicaid administrators face major changes in the year ahead — and without clear CMS guidance, the result could be massive costs and the largest multi-state technology failure since the pandemic.

CMS’s forthcoming guidance offers a critical opportunity to prevent wasteful spending on incomplete data and unreliable products.” (09/30/25)
