    State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

    Anticipated cost or savings to:

    the state budget:

    There is no impact to the state budget because funding for this coverage is 100% federal match.

    local governments:

    There is no impact to local governments because they neither fund nor make CHIP eligibility determinations.

    small businesses:

    Small businesses may see a nominal increase in annual revenue, but there is no data to estimate a total amount.

    persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

    CHIP providers may see a nominal increase in annual revenue, but there is no data to estimate a total amount. CHIP recipients who qualify under this provision may also see minimal out-of-pocket savings, but there is no data to estimate how much those savings would be.

    Compliance costs for affected persons:

    A single CHIP provider may see a nominal increase in annual revenue, but there is no data to estimate a total amount. A CHIP recipient who qualifies under this provision may also see minimal out-of-pocket savings, but there is no data to estimate how much those savings would be.

    Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

    There will be a slight fiscal impact on business in that CHIP providers may see a small increase in revenue for provision of additional services.
