Medicaid 1115 DemonstrationsFederal law authorizes experimentation by state Medicaid programs through section 1115 of the Social Security Act. Section 1115 allows states to implement and test new approaches to administering Medicaid programs that depart from existing federal rules yet stay consistent with the overall goals of the program.
