In response to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, EOHHS submitted requests to CMS to make necessary, temporary changes to the Medicaid program to ensure that Medicaid members continued to receive medically necessary Medicaid-covered services while minimizing exposure to the virus. The existing RI Comprehensive 1115 Demonstration Waiver remained in force unless described in these emergency federal authority requests.  EOHHS did not intend to carry these authorities forward after the termination of the COVID-19 emergency declaration.
