Common use of CMS Certification Clause in Contracts

CMS Certification. All State Eligibility and Enrollment (E&E) and E&E-related implementations must adhere to federal guidance for the State to receive enhanced federal funding for the operation of the E&E and other modular replacement projects. DSHS and the HHS Coalition will seek enhanced funding to the maximum extent possible and therefore the E&E solution, including the design, development, and implementation of the IE&E Platform, will undergo required certification as specified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Contractor shall fully support this process through all activities and artifacts requested by DSHS and the program's Quality Assurance (QA) and Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) vendor(s), if used by the project. Refer to Conditions for Enhanced Funding per 42 CFR § 433.112 for a full list from CMS. CMS has begun transitioning its system certification process to one that evaluates how well Medicaid technology systems support desired business outcomes while reducing burdens on states.
