​The Center for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Services (CMCS) now has an official government website designed to make more information and resources available about these programs.  The purpose of Medicaid.gov  is to provide easy access to current events, announcements, and policy issues to all persons interested in the Medicaid and CHIP health coverage programs.  Medicaid.gov topics include federal policy guidance, state-specific program data, and Affordable Care Act implementation updates.  There is also a section devoted entirely to pending and approved waivers.  The site also has a section with enhanced search capabilities for consumers.  Medicaid.gov has helpful links to www.healthcare.gov/ and www.insurekidsnow.gov/ which provide additional information about health coverage options.
