NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Section 26-1-5 grants the Department of Health the power to adopt, amend, or rescind rules that shall have the force and effect of law, and Section 26-18-3 requires the Department to implement the Medicaid program through administrative rules. In addition, 42 CFR 405.2462 establishes payment requirements for federally qualified health centers that provide services to Medicaid clients.

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.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
