    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:

    Pub L. No. 111-148 of the Affordable Care Act authorizes coverage for hospice care services as described in 42 USC 1395x(dd). 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 Section 26-18-3 requires the Department to implement the Medicaid program through administrative rules.

    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 establishes coverage for Medicaid recipients who receive hospice care services, and allows clients under 21 years old to receive concurrent care for their terminal illness.
