Federal officials could release a final rule in the coming days implementing key provisions of the 2010 federal healthcare overall on Medicaid and insurance exchange eligibility.
Regulations implementing provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act expected to expand Medicaid access by 16 million people and to determine eligibility for state exchanges that will insure another 16 million people were submitted for approval late last week from the Office of Management and Budget. Approval by OMB is usually the final step before rules are publicly released.

Other exchange details expected from the rule include the role that tax credits will have in covering the cost of premiums for people in the new state insurance marketplaces. Both the exchanges and the Medicaid expansion will begin in 2014.
