Welcome to the CMCS eRegulations wiki!

eRegulations will be a web application that helps the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) and State Medicaid staff find and interpret legislation, regulations, and guidance. It will weave relevant context and sub-regulatory guidance into the display of Medicaid regulations, and it will display the history of each regulation part. It is an adaptation of open source software developed by CFPB and 18F (GSA).

This is a one-year pilot (September 2020 - September 2021). We aim for these objectives:

  • Reduce the time and effort required for CMCS staff to find, read, analyze, and update regulations pertaining to Medicaid and CHIP.
  • State Medicaid and CHIP agencies understand the regulatory requirements for their programs and can easily navigate and understand relevant regulations, laws, and sub-regulatory guidance.

Please note that all pages on this GitHub wiki are draft working documents, not complete or polished.

Our software team puts non-sensitive technical documentation on this wiki to help us maintain a shared understanding of our work, including what we've done and why. As an open source project, this documentation is public in case anything in here is helpful to other teams, including anyone who may be interested in reusing our code for other projects.

For context, see the HHS Open Source Software plan (2016) and CMS Technical Reference Architecture section about Open Source Software, including Business Rule BR-OSS-13: "CMS-Released OSS Code Must Include Documentation Accessible to the Open Source Community".

For CMS staff and contractors: internal documentation on Enterprise Confluence (requires login).
