NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 31A-2-201 empowers the commissioner to make rules to enforce Title 31A. Subsection 31A-22-623(2) authorizes the commissioner to establish rules to establish minimum standards of coverage for dietary products for inborn errors of amino acid or urea cycle metabolism. Those minimum standards are set in Section R590-194-5 of the rule.

 

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

The department has not received any written comments in the past five years regarding this rule.

 

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

It is important that minimum standards be established for the products that insurers must cover so that the department can regulate the provisions of this law equitably across the board. The rule also lets the public know the minimum coverage that they can expect to be covered by an insurer. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
