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:

42 CFR 440 Subpart B establishes requirements and limits that apply to all Medicaid services, and Section 26-18-3 requires the Department of Health (Department) to implement program benefits by administrative 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 or oral comments 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:

The Department will continue this rule because it establishes effective dates of eligibility and provisions for benefits available to Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries, Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiaries, and Qualifying Individuals. The Department will also continue this rule because the rule requires coordination with other programs to inform members of available benefits, refers members to provisions for transportation services, and spells out criteria for supplemental payments to institutionalized individuals.
