The state must charge something toward some care
What the document says“the State plan shall, beginning October 1, 2028, provide for the imposition of such deductions, cost sharing, or similar charges determined appropriate by the State (in an amount greater than $0) with respect to certain care, items, or services furnished to such an individual, as determined by the State.”
The section requires the State plan, from October 1, 2028, to charge more than zero in deductions, cost sharing or similar charges on certain care, items or services given to a specified individual, as the State decides.
What the document actually says“the State plan shall, beginning October 1, 2028, provide for the imposition of such deductions, cost sharing, or similar charges determined appropriate by the State (in an amount greater than $0) with respect to certain care, items, or services furnished to such an individual, as determined by the State.”
The state must charge something. It must be more than zero. It picks which care it applies to.
That starts on October 1, 2028. The next rules set limits on it. Some care may not be charged for at all.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
