CMS Awards Mississippi $104 Million for Rural Healthcare Technology and Access Expansion
CMS has approved $104 million in federal funding to Mississippi to expand rural healthcare access through technology infrastructure and care delivery improvements. The funding will support telehealth expansion, care coordination technology, and increased provider capacity in underserved areas across the state. Implementation begins in fiscal year 2027. This represents a significant federal investment in Mississippi's rural health infrastructure, particularly relevant for managed care plans and providers serving Medicaid beneficiaries in rural counties where access to specialists and technology-enabled care has been limited.
Mississippi MCOs and rural providers will see expanded telehealth capabilities and technology infrastructure that can improve care coordination and reduce avoidable utilization for rural Medicaid members.
