The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) June 11 released its June report to Congress. The first chapter focuses on improving the transparency of financing the non-federal share of Medicaid and CHIP. The commission recommends that states be required to submit an annual report describing their Medicaid and CHIP financing methods, including the amount that providers contribute through health care related taxes and assessments. 
MACPAC also discusses better care coordination for people dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare, and examines Medicare savings programs. The final chapter of the report describes the importance of collecting demographic data and federal and state priorities for collection and use. MACPAC makes key considerations for collecting these data and factors affecting data quality.
