RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

Subsection 26-18-3(2)(a) requires the Medicaid program to implement policy through administrative rules. The Department, in order to draw down federal funds, must have an approved State Plan with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The purpose of this change, therefore, is to incorporate the most current Medicaid State Plan by reference.

Summary of the rule or change:

The Department incorporates by reference the Utah Medicaid State Plan and approved State Plan Amendments (SPAs) to 07/01/2016. Specifically, the Department incorporates by reference SPA 16-0002-UT Former Foster Care Youth from Other States, which expands coverage to foster care youth who reside in Utah, and were in foster care in any state, at the time they turned 18 years old. Coverage continues for these individuals through the month in which they turn 26 years of age. The Department also incorporates by reference the following: SPA 16-0006-UT Mental Health Diagnostic and Rehabilitative Services, which removes obsolete provisions for retroactive cost settlement in both San Juan County and Wasatch County as mental health providers are no longer limited under contract to provide services in mental health centers only; SPA 16-0008-UT Payment for Hospice Services, which includes additional language to describe the availability of Service Intensity Add-on payments for hospice care services provided in the home, based on the number of direct care hours provided by either a registered nurse or clinical social worker; SPA 16-0009-UT Disproportionate Share Hospital Payments (DSH), which updates and clarifies DSH payment methodology by including verbiage to specify that the calculation for the DSH add-on uses the CMS preliminary allotment; and SPA 16-0010 Federal Upper Limit, which will allow the State to use the lesser of the Maximum Allowable Cost (MAC) or Federal Upper Limit (FUL) wherever CMS has established an FUL. This proposed rule also incorporates by reference the following: Medical Supplies Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, and the manual's attachment for Donor Human Milk Request Form, effective 07/01/2016; the Hospital Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual with its attachments, effective 07/01/2016; the Home Health Agencies Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, and the manual's attachment for the Private Duty Nursing Acuity Grid, effective 07/01/2016; the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Hospice Care Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, and the manual's attachment for the Utah Medicaid Prior Authorization Request for Hospice Services, effective 07/01/2016; the Long Term Care Services in Nursing Facilities Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, with its attachments, effective 07/01/2016; the Utah Home and Community-Based Waiver Services for Individuals Age 65 or Older Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Personal Care Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, and the manual's attachment for the Request for Prior Authorization: Personal Care and Capitated Programs effective 07/01/2016; the Utah Home and Community-Based Waiver Services for Individuals with an Acquired Brain Injury Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; Utah Community Supports Waiver for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities or Other Related Conditions Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Utah Home and Community-Based Services Waiver for Individuals with Physical Disabilities Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Utah Home and Community-Based Waiver Services New Choices Waiver Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Utah Home and Community-Based Services Waiver for Technology Dependent, Medically Fragile Individuals Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Utah Home and Community-Based Waiver Services Medicaid Autism Waiver Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Administrative Hearings Procedures Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Pharmacy Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual with its attachments, effective 07/01/2016; the Coverage and Reimbursement Code Look-up Tool, effective 07/01/2016; the CHEC Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual with its attachments, effective 07/01/2016; the Chiropractic Medicine Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Dental, Oral Maxillofacial, and Orthodontia Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the General Attachments (All Providers) for the Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Indian Health Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Laboratory Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual with its attachments, effective 07/01/2016; the Medical Transportation Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Non-Traditional Medicaid Plan Utah Medicaid Provider Manual with attachment, effective 07/01/2016; the Licensed Nurse Practitioner Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, and the manual's attachment for Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Decision Tables, effective 07/01/2016; the Physician Services, Anesthesiology and Laboratory Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual with its attachments, effective 07/01/2016; the Podiatric Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Primary Care Network Utah Medicaid Provider Manual with its attachments, effective 07/01/2016; the Rehabilitative Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Rural Health Clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the School-Based Skills Development Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; Section I: General Information Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; the Targeted Case Management for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; Targeted Case Management for Early Childhood (Ages 0-4) Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; Vision Care Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; Women's Services Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; Medically Complex Children?s Waiver Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016; and Autism Spectrum Disorder Related Services for EPSDT Eligible Individuals Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, effective 07/01/2016.
