CMS is requesting feedback from all Medicaid Enterprise System (MES) stakeholders, including state agencies, vendors, integrators, standards organizations, providers, and industry experts, to inform the development of the MES IT Standards Program. The goal is to gather specific, actionable information on the most significant barriers to MES transformation, what is working well, and what needs improvement. CMS seeks input on how best to support states and vendors in moving toward a more standardized, interoperable, and cost-effective future. Respondents are asked to be clear and concise, and to preface their responses with the corresponding question labels.
