SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under section 1115 of the Social Security Act (the Act), the 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may consider and approve 
research and demonstration proposals with a broad range of policy 
objectives. These demonstrations can lead to improvements in achieving 
the purposes of the Act.
    In exercising her discretionary authority, the Secretary has 
developed a number of policies and procedures for reviewing proposals. 
On September 27, 1994, we published a notice in the Federal Register 
(59 FR 49249) that specified (1) the principles that we ordinarily will 
consider when approving or disapproving demonstration projects under 
the authority in section 1115(a) of the Act; (2) the procedures we 
expect States to use in involving the public in the development of 
proposed demonstration projects under section 1115; and (3) the 
procedures we ordinarily will follow in reviewing demonstration 
proposals. We are committed to a thorough and expeditious review of 
State requests to conduct such demonstrations.
    As part of our procedures, we publish a notice in the Federal 
Register with a monthly listing of all new submissions, pending 
proposals, approvals, disapprovals, and withdrawn proposals. Proposals 
submitted in response to a grant solicitation or other competitive 
process are reported as received during the month that such grant or 
bid is awarded, so as to prevent interference with the awards process.

of Childbearing Age--Arkansas.
    Description: Arkansas seeks to extend Medicaid eligibility for 
family planning services only to postpartum women under 133 percent

    Demonstration Title/State: Alternatives in Medicaid Home Care 
Demonstration--Colorado.
    Description: Colorado proposes to conduct a pilot project that 
eliminates the restriction on provision of Medicaid home health 
services in locations other than the beneficiary's place of 
residence. The proposal would also permit nursing aides to perform 
functions that historically have been provided only by skilled 
nursing staff. Medicaid beneficiaries participating in the project 
will be adults (including both frail elderly clients and younger 
clients with disabilities) who can live independently and self-
direct their own care. The project would provide for delegation of 
specific functions from nurses to certified nurses aides, pay nurses 
for shorter supervision and monitoring visits, and allow higher 
payments to aides performing delegated nursing tasks. Currently, 
home health agency nursing and nurse aide services are paid on a per 
visit basis. Each visit is approximately 2-4 hours in duration, and 
recipients must require skilled, hands-on care.

Demonstration--Colorado.
    Description: Colorado proposes to conduct an Integrated Care and 
Financing Project demonstration. Specifically, the Colorado 
Department of Health Care Policy and Financing proposes to add

health maintenance organization (HMO) and make the HMO responsible 
for providing comprehensive medical and supportive services through 
one capitated rate. The project would include all Medicaid 
eligibility groups, including individuals with dual eligibility.
