Notice of Public Hearing

Under IC 4-22-2-24, notice is hereby given that on April 14, 2011, at 11:30 a.m., at the Indiana Government Center South, 402 West Washington Street, Conference Center Room 4, Indianapolis, Indiana, the Office of the Secretary of Family and Social Services will hold a public hearing on a proposed rule amending 405 IAC 1-11.5-2 to modify Medicaid reimbursement formulas by reducing rates currently paid to chiropractors and podiatrists by five percent for the period beginning upon the later of the effective date of this rule or June 27, 2011, and continuing through June 30, 2013, and to extend the expiration date of the five percent reimbursement reduction in dental services billed using current dental terminology (CDT) codes by revising the expiration date of June 30, 2011, found at LSA Document #10-168, to June 30, 2013, and codifying it in this rule.

To comply with the provisions of IC 4-22-2-24(d)(3), the agency further states that the changes are necessary in order to avoid a budgetary shortfall and to remain within the available Medicaid appropriation. The cost of compliance with this proposed rule, including any administrative, legal, consulting, or accounting cost, is not expected to be any different than what providers currently incur in the course of providing services.

All parties interested in the rule are invited to attend the hearing and offer public comments. In lieu of attendance at the hearing, written comments may be sent to: IFSSA, Attention: Kristine Ellerbruch, 402 W. Washington St., Room W374, P.O. Box 7083, Indianapolis, IN 46207-7083. Correspondence should be identified in the following manner: "COMMENT RE: LSA Document #10-793, CHIROPRACTIC, PODIATRIC, and DENTAL RATE CHANGES". All written comments concerning the rule received by OMPP will be available for public inspection at the Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning, 402 West Washington Street, Room W374, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Copies of the proposed rule and this notice are now available and may be inspected by contacting the director of the local county division of family resources office, except in Marion County, where public inspection may be made at 402 West Washington Street, Room W374, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Copies of these rules are now on file at the Indiana Government Center South, 402 West Washington Street, Room W374 and Legislative Services Agency, 100 North Senate Avenue, Room N201, Indianapolis, Indiana and are open for public inspection.
