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 Primary Care Network (PCN) program. In addition, Section 26-1-5 authorizes the Department to adopt rules that provide services to PCN recipients. Section 1115 of the Social Security Act also authorizes services to PCN recipients under a waiver of federal Medicaid requirements.

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 spells out services available to PCN recipients and lists their cost sharing responsibilities. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
