Health and Family Services
On April 27, 2007 the Department of Health and Family Services submitted proposed rules to the Wisconsin Legislative Council Rules Clearinghouse.
Analysis
The rules will revise ch.
HFS 107 relating to prior authorization of dental services to correct an error.
Section
441.56 of Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations specifies the procedures and tests required to provide early and periodic screening, diagnosis and treatment (EPSDT) services to recipients.
This revision will assist the state in complying with the requirements of that provision, by specifying more clearly that the state's intent is to only cover certain services required as a result of a screening, as described in that provision. The provision of dental services to Medicaid recipients is described in
42 CFR s. 440.100. The state regulations are currently in conformance with that provision. This revision will not change that conformance.
Agency Procedure for Promulgation
A public hearing is required. The Department anticipates holding at least one public hearing which will be published in the Wisconsin Administrative Register and on the Wisconsin Administrative Rules Website at
