The Title XIX waivers associated with the demonstration program expired on December 31, 2000. Some of the definitions and language regarding the diversion program will be moved to R414-301. Since this rule will be repealed in its entirety, approximately 1,500 households will lose eligibility for Transitional Medicaid. The children in these households will still be eligible under other Medicaid programs. This rule is now obsolete.
Repeal is appropriate.
The impact on vulnerable low income Utah residents has been mitigated as much as possible with other rule changes to the extent allowed by federal law. The impact on Utah's health care system should be minimal. Rod L. Betit, Executive Director R414. Health, Health Care Financing, Coverage and Reimbursement Policy. Single Parent Employment Program.
