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 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 authorizes the Department to adopt rules that provide services and eligibility requirements for Medicaid recipients.

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 sets forth services and eligibility requirements for the entire Medicaid program. It also specifies provider and recipient policy, specifies the role of certain entities within the Medicaid program, specifies the availability of program manuals and policies, and serves as the basis for all other rules in the Medicaid program.
