How Does Medicaid work?
State Plan
Federal Medicaid law sets rules for all state Medicaid programs. These rules require state Medicaid programs to cover certain groups of people and services. It leaves some services as optional. Each state decides the nature and scope of its program through a Medicaid state plan. This plan must be approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Plans can be amended by submitted a state plan amendment to CMS for approval. ND Medicaid provides public notice each time this is done.
Suggest changes to ND Medicaid coverage by filling out the SFN 905 form. Please answer all applicable questions. Include as much detail as possible. Submit completed forms along with any additional supporting documentation to dhsmed@nd.gov.

Medicaid Advisory Committee
Each state must have a Medicaid Advisory Committee. ND Medicaid's committee is called the Medicaid Medical Advisory Committee (MMAC). This committee is made up of members, providers, advocates, legislators, health care associations, and others with relevant Medicaid experience. The committee meets on a regular basis to review, discuss, and recommend changes to ND Medicaid's policy, state plan, and waivers.
