Mr. Sheets,

The Alabama Medicaid Agency (Medicaid) is in receipt of your request for the following forms: 393, 401, 402, 403 and 404. As an agency of the State of Alabama, Medicaid is subject to the Alabama Open Records Act, Section 36-12-40 of the Code of Alabama 1975. The Alabama Open Records Act provides every citizen of the State of Alabama with access to the public writings of the State. Based on your request, it does not appear you are a citizen of the State of Alabama, and therefore, your request for public records is denied. However, please note that the forms you have requested are readily available in the "Forms Library" under the "Resources" tab on Medicaid's website.

Thank you,
