Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Section 26-18-3 requires the Department to implement Medicaid policy through administrative rules, which allow the Department to administer the Medicaid program. In addition, Section 26-1-5 allows the Department to adopt rules to carry out services and procedures that are proven to be medically effective.
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 did not receive 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:
This rule is necessary because it implements the policy to cover only services and procedures that are proven to be effective. This rule, therefore, ensures that Medicaid recipients receive quality and cost effective services. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
