Medicaid and Medicare manuals

State Medicaid manuals are scattered across agency websites, portals and rule pages, and it is rarely clear which ones govern your services. Pick your states and your provider type to see the manuals that apply, with a direct link to each official source.

Working prototypeSix states and Medicare. More states are being added.

We tag each manual by provider type based on the scope the manual itself states. Most providers are subject to more than one manual, plus managed care plan contracts, state rules and statutes. Links go to the official state and CMS sources, which change often, so check the date on each document. This library helps you find the rules. Whether a rule applies to your situation is a question for a healthcare lawyer.

Legal Ladder is not a law firm and this is not legal advice. This page lists official Medicaid and Medicare manuals and links to them. It does not say which manuals govern your arrangement, and a manual does not settle whether a rule applies to your facts. Provider type tags come from the scope each manual states, which is our reading of it. Manuals change often, so check the date on each document and open the official source before relying on it. Whether a rule applies to your situation is a question for a healthcare lawyer.
