Overview

Medicaid Transformation Grants

Section 6081 of the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) authorizes new grant funds to States for the adoption of innovative methods to improve effectiveness and efficiency in providing medical assistance under Medicaid. Through the use of the Transformation Grants, States can work with CMS to create programs that are more aligned with today's Medicaid populations and health care environment.

Since January 2007 through two rounds of competitive solicitations, $150 million has been awarded to the Medicaid Agencies in 35 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
