Summary

Pursuant to the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services Final Rule (89 FR 40542), West Virginia's Bureau for Medical Services announced that all Medicaid fee-for-service rate schedules, including provider-specific rates not previously publicly posted, will be published on the BMS website starting July 1, 2026. This satisfies the final rule's requirement that Medicaid agencies make FFS rate schedules easily accessible on a public-facing website by that date. The disclosure extends to provider-specific rates, which represents a new level of rate transparency under federal Medicaid access policy.

What this may mean

West Virginia Medicaid FFS rate schedules, including provider-specific rates, become publicly accessible on July 1, 2026, as required by the 2024 Access Final Rule. This mandatory public disclosure applies to all provider types reimbursed under West Virginia's FFS Medicaid program and creates a permanent public record of previously non-public rate information. The publication requirement originates at the federal level and applies to all state Medicaid agencies, making this a nationwide implementation milestone for the 89 FR 40542 rule.
