Maryland Department of Aging: Medicaid Financial Participation
In Maryland, there are two types of Medicaid Federal Financial Participation (FFP) available, namely Service FFP and Administrative FFP. This includes services provided to Medicaid-eligible individuals and matching dollars for administrative costs. The Medicaid Assistance Percentage (MAP) is a key component in Maryland's program, supporting various systems change efforts. The Maryland Department of Aging is involved in conducting Level I Screen Options counseling and other essential functions. Time studies, cost documentations, and contractual relationships with agencies play crucial roles in Medicaid-related activities. Collaboration between MDoA and DHMH for claiming FFP, developing infrastructure, and documenting costs is ongoing.
