such payments as enrollment fees, premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, 
co-payments, or similar cost sharing charges. For States that impose 
cost sharing payments, Secs. 447.51 through 447.59 prescribe State plan 
requirements and options for cost sharing, specify the standards and 
conditions under which States may impose cost sharing, set forth minimum 
amounts and the methods for determining maximum amounts, and prescribe 
conditions for FFP that relate to cost sharing requirements.
