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:

Subsection 26-18-3(2)(a) requires the Department to implement the Medicaid program through administrative rules. In addition, Section 26-1-5 grants the Department the authority to adopt, amend, or rescind rules as necessary to implement the Medicaid program, and 42 CFR 440.90 authorizes dialysis services at a facility furnished by or under the direction of a physician.

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:

The Department will continue this rule because it facilitates the administration of dialysis services to Medicaid clients for at least 90 days, and continues coverage for clients who do not qualify for dialysis under Medicare.
