4 CMS has compiled a list of Programs that meet the criteria to be considered SPAPs. Please note that this list only includes states that submitted a description of their Programs to CMS for review based on the established criteria in CMS' Manufacturer Release #68 (April 1, 2005). The qualification of State -only Programs as SPAPs is based on the information provided by the State and may be subject to further review if changes occur within the program.
