| 13 CSR 40-2.015 | This amendment adds the Adult Expansion Group (AEG) to the list of groups that constitute “MO HealthNet programs” for purposes of this rule. The AEG was created by Amendment 2, which was passed by referendum on August 4, 2020, and which created Article IV, Section 36(c) of the Missouri Constitution, which requires the department to extend MO HealthNet coverage to Missourians ages 19-64 whose income is below 133% of the federal poverty level. This amendment also incorporates three (3) federal regulations and one subpart of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). First, the rule governing authorized representatives (42 CFR 435.923). Second, the rule governing the privacy and security of personally identifiable information (45 CFR 155.260), which authorized representatives must honor. Third, the rule governing the entities who may receive a reassigned claim from a Medicaid provider (42 CFR 447.10). Finally, the amendment incorporates the subpart in federal rules – 42 CFR 431 Subpart F - on safeguarding information on Medicaid participants. Authorized representatives must agree to adhere to these rules as a condition of their representation. | NO | Missouri Register – February 16, 2021 Volume 46, Number 4 (Pages 325-326) |
