MSB 07-01-31-B. SSI Medicaid Eligibility Effective Date Rules for Children Under 21, Section 8.110. The purpose of this rule change is to revise the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Medicaid eligibility requirements to incorporate changes in federal law governing the effective date of eligibility for individuals under 21 and to provide criteria for granting eligibility to infants who are found to be disabled shortly after birth. The authority for this rule is contained in 25.5-1-301 through 25.5-1-303 and 25.5-4-104(1), C.R.S. (2007); 42 CFR Sections 435.120, 435.909(b)(1), and 435.914; and 42 USC Section 1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(II)(cc).
MSB 08-04-01-A. School Health Services. The rule change is necessary in order to bring the School Health Services Program in compliance with mandates from CMS regarding provider qualifications and a cost-based reimbursement methodology. CMS is reviewing a corresponding State Plan Amendment and has provided strict conditions that must be met for the School Health Services Program to continue. In addition, the changes are necessary to bring the program in compliance with CMS regulation 2237-IFC, regarding case management services. Therefore, the rules implementing the program, 10-C.C.R. 2505-10, Sections 8.290 through 8.290.7 are being deleted or revised. The authority for this rule is contained in 25.5-5-318, C.R.S.
