CMS Takes Bold New Approach to Stewarding Medicaid Demonstration Project Spending

CMS·October 6, 2026
CMS Takes Bold New Approach to Stewarding Medicaid Demonstration Project Spending

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a new strategic approach to managing federal spending within Medicaid Section 1115 demonstration projects. This initiative aims to enhance oversight and ensure that state-led innovations, including those addressing social determinants of health like nutrition services, remain fiscally sustainable and effective.

HNH Insight

While the press release focuses on broader demonstration oversight, it reflects the current federal push to integrate nutrition and other health-related social needs into 1115 waiver frameworks by tightening fiscal accountability for states.
