About the 1115 waiver:

• The 1115 waiver, also known as the MRT Waiver in New York State, is an agreement between the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and New York State that allows the State to use a managed care delivery system to deliver benefits to Medicaid recipients, create efficiencies in the Medicaid program, and enable the extension of coverage to certain individuals who would otherwise be without health insurance.

• The MRT waiver is a vehicle by which the State has implemented the initiatives of the Medicaid Redesign Team and subsequent health systems reforms, including the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program.

• In addition, New York’s goals in implementing its MRT waiver include improving access to health services and better health outcomes for New Yorkers through multiple programs.

This meeting will be webcast live and will be open to the public. No pre-registration is required. Individuals who wish to provide comment will be asked to register on site no later than 2 p.m. and will speak in their order of registration.
