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:

42 USC 1396n(b) authorizes the Department to implement this waiver program, which promotes cost-effective and efficient health care for Medicaid recipients. Section 26-1-5 also grants the Department the authority to adopt, amend, or rescind rules as necessary to implement the Medicaid program, and Subsection 26-18-3(2)(a) 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 the Choice of Health Care Delivery Program provides access to quality and cost-effective health care for certain Medicaid recipients who live in urban counties of the state.
