Attachment 3. Summary of Comments from Pretest States and Responses

Suggested Revisions from Pretest States

1. Move the sentence “Furthermore, service include services…” on page 3, 2nd paragraph to page 2, last paragraph.

Change Made: Upon further consideration, we decided to leave the sentence where it is.

2. Number the three populations addressed in Question 1.

Change Made: Yes

3. Consider including the category of “other” population in addition to infants and children; children with special health care needs, and pregnant women in Questions 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Change Made: Upon further consideration, to reduce the data reporting burden to states, we decided not to include the category of “other.”

4. Include an “unknown” insurance category in Questions 3, 4, and 5, or alternately, clarify in the instructions for each question that “other” may include “unknown.”

Change Made: We have made this change to include an “unknown” insurance category for Questions 3, 4, and 5.

5. Clarify whether “provide amount of federal Title V MCH Formula Block Grant funds used to reimburse services to children and pregnant women in federal fiscal year 2011” means “paid for” services in federal fiscal year 2011.

Change Made: Upon further consideration, to reduce state burden, we decided to allow state flexibility in interpreting this phrase.
