1332 Waiver
The 1332 waiver , if approved, would reshape the state’s insurance market with two phases: first, a state-based reinsurance program followed by much broader changes to the state’s insurance market to begin in 2022. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued guidance on Section 1332 with new more relaxed “guardrails” and Georgia is the first state to take advantage of this new guidance. Under this proposal, private entities could display “the full range of coverage options” available in the state, including both qualified health plans (QHPs) that meet the Affordable Care Act’s requirements and “eligible non-QHPs” which do not meet the ACA’s requirements. Eligible non-QMHPs could decline to cover entire essential health benefit categories, such as habilitation and rehabilitation which will affect access to occupational therapy services.

1115 Waiver
The 1115 Waiver proposes to extend Medicaid eligibility to individuals who meet work and community engagement requirements and are under 100% of the federal poverty level. To date, no state has received approval for partial expansion.
