IC 4-22-2.1-5 Statement Concerning Rules Affecting Small Businesses

IC 4-22-2.1-5(a) provides that an agency that intends to adopt a rule under IC 4-22-2 that will impose requirements or costs on small businesses must prepare a statement that describes the annual economic impact of the rule on small businesses after the rule is fully implemented as described in IC 4-22-2.1-5(b).

LSA Document #10-195 amends 405 IAC 5-3-14 to reduce the time frame for making prior authorization decisions in Medicaid from 10 business days to no later than seven calendar days. It also makes various amendments to 405 IAC 9 (pertaining to the Indiana Check-up Plan) to simplify administration of the program and update program rules.

Economic Impact on Small Businesses

IC 5-28-2-6 defines a small business as a business entity that satisfies the following requirements:

(1) On at least fifty percent (50%) of the working days of the business entity occurring during the preceding calendar year, the business entity employed not more than one hundred fifty (150) employees.

(2) The majority of the employees of the business entity work in Indiana.

The Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) states that there are no small businesses that will be impacted by this rule.

2. Estimated Average Annual Reporting, Record Keeping, and Other Administrative Costs That Small Businesses Will Incur:

Since there are no small businesses that will be impacted by this rule, there will be no reporting, record keeping, or other administrative costs incurred by small businesses.

3. Estimated Total Annual Economic Impact on Small Businesses to Comply:

Since there are no small businesses that will be impacted by this rule, there will be no economic impact (positive or negative) on small businesses.

4. Justification Statement of Requirement or Cost:

Since there are no small businesses that will be impacted by this rule, there will be no cost or requirements on small businesses.

5. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:

The FSSA does not propose an alternative regulatory method since there are no small businesses that are impacted by this rule.
