201 KAR 21:075. Peer review committee procedures and fees.

 

A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend Section 1 to comply with the drafting and formatting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A; and (2) to revise the REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS AND TIERING STATEMENT to correct an agency response. Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.

 

201 KAR 21:085. Preceptorship Program.

 

In response to a question by Co-Chair Harris, Dr. Oldenkamp stated that this administrative regulation did not increase fees.

 

A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend Sections 2 and 3 to comply with the drafting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A; and (2) to revise the REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS AND TIERING STATEMENT to correct an agency response. Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.

 

201 KAR 21:095. Licensure, registration, and standards of persons performing peer review.

 

In response to questions by Co-Chair Harris, Dr. Oldenkamp stated that the annual registration fee was increased from twenty (20) dollars to fifty (50) dollars to provide funding for the new peer review complaint process, which added expenses associated with investigating complaints. The purpose of the peer review process was to protect the public. Additional staffing was not necessary.

 

In response to questions by Representative Lee, Dr. Oldenkamp stated that the board’s authorizing statutes and its administrative regulations did not establish a specific amount of the board’s revenue to be reserved if the Commonwealth budget swept board funds; however, the board’s goal was to maintain approximately $300,000. The board was unable to maintain that amount consistently since 2007 because of funds swept by the Commonwealth budgets. The current budget proposal would sweep $100,000 for Fiscal Year 2014 – 2015. Mr. Judy stated that the board did not control the amount of funds swept. Dr. Oldenkamp stated that the board no longer had adequate cash reserves, and may operate in the red if the 2014 - 2015 budget swept the proposed $100,000. In that event, fees would need to be raised again.

 

In response to a question by Senator Gregory, Dr. Woodward stated that the board received approximately six (6) peer review-related complaints yearly. This administrative regulation established a more formal process for addressing peer review complaints. Dr. Oldenkamp stated that this administrative regulation affected forty (40) to fifty (50) licensees, and the fee increase was expected to generate approximately $1,200 to $1,500, which would provide little offset to funds that were swept.

In response to questions by Co-Chair Harris, Ms. Barker stated that this administrative regulation was being amended as part of the annual review of the department’s policies. Correctional institutions for females had slightly different policies than correctional institutions for males.

Miranda Denney, division director; LaShana Harris, assistant director and compliance officer; Louise Inman, nurse service administrator; and LaDonna Koebel, assistant general counsel, represented the department.

 

In response to questions by Co-Chair Harris, Ms. Koebel stated that 505 KAR 1:120 and 1:130 were being amended to facilitate annual staff training. Training topics alternated each year. Only 505 KAR 1:130 applied to facilities with nurses. Ms. Denney stated that 1,773 youth were currently active in the system in some capacity, and the average length of time in the system was five (5) to six (6) months, with longer time lengths for sex offenders because of treatment needs for that population.

 

In response to questions by Co-Chair Bell, Ms. Koebel stated that national certification standards had been revised and these administrative regulations were being revised to reflect those standards, which pertained to observation and isolation of at-risk youth. A youth who is suicidal and assaultive shall be observed and isolated if dangerous to others, himself, or herself. Facilities had cameras to assist in making a determination regarding the appropriateness of observation and isolation. The superintendent and nursing staff were also involved in determinations regarding a youth to be observed and isolated. A youth involved in escape, assault, or serious injury was a youth who exhibited at least one (1) of those behaviors, not a youth with a legal charge of escape, assault, or serious injury. Such a youth was subject to loss of privileges. Ms. Inman stated that all youth in their programs were at least twelve (12) years of age, and age and development were taken into consideration if making a determination regarding discipline.

 

A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: to amend Section 1 and the material incorporated by reference to: (1) reinstate the requirement in DJJPP 405.6 that an escape, assault, or serious injury while a youth was hospitalized for psychiatric services shall be reported to the superintendent and to the youth's parents; (2) reinstate the requirement in DJJPP 411 that all suicide attempts shall be reported to the youth's parents; (3) correct form names; (4) clarify provisions; and (5) comply with the drafting and formatting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A.

CABINET FOR HEALTH AND FAMILY SERVICES: Department for Medicaid Services: Commissioner's Office: Division of Healthcare Facilities Management: Medicaid Eligibility

 

907 KAR 20:001 & E. Definitions for 907 KAR Chapter 20. Stuart Owen, regulation coordinator, and Neville Wise, deputy commissioner, represented the cabinet. David Adams, resident of Nicholasville and president, Kentucky Citizens Judicial, appeared in opposition to 907 KAR 20:100.

 

In response to a question by Senator Clark, Mr. Wise stated that modified adjusted gross income was determined by a filer’s tax form.

 

In response to a question by Senator Gregory, Mr. Owen stated that some amendments to these administrative regulations were necessary due to the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, and some amendments were related to foster care mandates and requirements regarding modified adjusted gross income. 907 KAR 20:100, in particular, had significant amendments due to Medicaid expansion.

 

In response to questions by Co-Chair Bell, Mr. Owen stated that these administrative regulations reorganized requirements to create shorter administrative regulations, rather than a few very long administrative regulations. Without these administrative regulations, some programs such as programs for the elderly, veterans, and foster care system, might be adversely affected. Funding for some of these programs may have been reduced by as much as twenty-eight (28) percent in the past six (6) years; however, Mr. Owen was unable to verify those amounts.

 

Mr. Adams, Nicholasville citizen and president of Kentucky Citizens Judicial, appeared in opposition to 907 KAR 20:100, pertaining to the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. In particular, Mr. Adams was opposed to 907 KAR 20:100, and desired that the Subcommittee find 907 KAR 20:100 deficient. Mr. Adams stated that these provisions were not mandated. A Supreme Court opinion stated that these provisions were optional. It was inappropriate for the cabinet to file these provisions as emergency administrative regulations because the public was unable to provide input prior to the emergency administrative regulations going into effect. Media outlets had suggested that there were no costs associated with this expansion; however, state government had not made that claim. There would be a net increase of administrative costs of $21.5 million, which was unappropriated for the current fiscal year. This was an illegal expansion of Medicaid, and the matter was currently before the Kentucky Supreme Court.

 

Mr. Wise stated that he had not intended to imply that these provisions were mandated. They were optional, and Kentucky had opted to implement them. Mr. Owen stated that Medicaid expansion was optional, but requirements pertaining to modified adjusted gross income were mandated, including those in 907 KAR 20:100.

 

In response to a question by Co-Chair Harris, Mr. Wise stated that federal matching fund percentages varied depending on the type of administration. For example, eligibility administration was improving the federal funding match to ninety (90) percent federal and ten (10) percent state. When eligibility operation administration was in place, the funding match percentage would change to seventy-five (75) percent federal and twenty-five (25) percent state, which would be in effect soon and for the foreseeable future.

 

A motion was made by Senator Gregory, and seconded by Representative Turner, to find 907 KAR 20:100 deficient due to lack of statutory authority. A roll call vote was conducted, and with three (3) votes to find the administrative regulation deficient, three (3) votes against a finding of deficiency, and two (2) members absent, the motion failed. A majority vote of at least five (5) votes for a finding of deficiency is required for the motion to pass.

 

A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: to amend Section 1 to: (1) comply with the drafting and formatting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A, including: (a) deleting definitions for terms not used in 907 KAR Chapter 20; (b) putting definitions in alphabetical order; and (c) clarifying language; and (2) insert a definition of “deemed eligible newborn”. Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.

 

907 KAR 20:005 & E. Medicaid technical eligibility requirements not related to a modified adjusted gross income standard or former foster care individuals.

 

A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend the NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY paragraph and Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and 10 to comply with the drafting and formatting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A; and (2) to amend Section 7 to clarify inmate eligibility for Medicaid in specified circumstances. Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.

A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: to amend Sections 1, 2, and 3 to: (1) comply with the drafting and formatting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A; and (2) correct citations. Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.

A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend the NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY paragraph to clearly state the necessity for and function served by this administrative regulation, as required by KRS 13A.220; (2) to amend Sections 2 and 5 to: (a) specify the name of required forms; and (b) comply with the drafting and formatting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A; and (3) to create a new Section 7 to incorporate by reference the two required forms.
