The Woodlawn-based federal agency that administers the Medicare and Medicaid programs expects to add 200 jobs this year to handle additional responsibilities created by the national health-care reform.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services offered more details after The Baltimore Sun reported last week that the agency was looking for a swath of new office space in Woodlawn. Half the 130,000 square feet is meant for the health-reform jobs.

The agency could not offer details about the planned use of the rest of the space, which was requested for next year.
