    This rule sets forth the administrative agency's role in facilitating outreach services for low-income children and pregnant women through the process of outstationing workers at disproportionate share hospitals and federally qualified health centers. Differences between this rule and the rule it is replacing are updated rule references.

    8.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference and the agency claims the incorporation by reference is exempt from compliance with sections

    121.71 to 121.74 of the Revised Code because the text or other material is generally available to persons who reasonably can be expected to be affected by the rule, provide an explanation of how the text or other material is generally available to those persons:

    This rule incorporates one or more dated references to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This question is not applicable to any dated incorporation by reference to the CFR because such reference is exempt from compliance with RC

    Rule Summary and Fiscal Analysis (Part B)

    1.  Does the Proposed rule have a fiscal effect on any of the following?

    (a)  School Districts

    (b)    Counties                                 (c) Townships           (d) Municipal

    Corporations

    No                                Yes                              No                                No

    2.  Please provide an estimate in dollars of the cost of compliance with the proposed rule for school districts, counties, townships, or municipal corporations. If you are unable to provide an estimate in dollars, please provide a written explanation of why it is not possible to provide such an estimate.

    The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) supplies funding to Ohio's 88 counties through the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance. This funding is intended to properly supply counties with enough funding to conduct eligibility determinations and casework for the Medicaid Program. State funds are supplied for matching through a mechanism called the Income Maintenance (IM) Allocation. As expenditures are charged the federal portion of these expenditures is also supplied to the counties. Each county operates daily at different work levels and funds the work done locally differently. Historically counties have not reported spending in excess of allocation and it is not expected that this change to policy would greatly change that dynamic.

    3.  If the proposed rule is the result of a federal requirement, does the proposed rule exceed the scope and intent of the federal requirement? No

    4.  If the proposed rule exceeds the minimum necessary federal requirement, please provide an estimate of, and justification for, the excess costs that exceed the cost of the federal requirement. In particular, please provide an estimate of the excess costs that exceed the cost of the federal requirement for (a) school districts, (b) counties, (c) townships, and (d) municipal corporations.

    Not Applicable.

    5.  Please provide a comprehensive cost estimate for the proposed rule that includes the procedure and method used for calculating the cost of compliance. This comprehensive cost estimate should identify all of the major cost categories including, but not limited to, (a) personnel costs, (b) new equipment or other capital costs, (c) operating costs, and (d) any

    indirect central service costs.

    The Department of Medicaid anticipates that counties, specifically County Departments of Job and Family Services, will incur training costs. However, each county operates daily at different work levels and funds the work done locally differently. Historically counties have not reported spending in excess of allocation and it is not expected that this change to policy would greatly change that dynamic.

    (a)  Personnel Costs

    There will be an increase in training costs as a result of the new Medicaid eligibility rules. However, each county operates daily at different work levels and funds the work done locally differently. Historically counties have not reported spending in excess of allocation and it is not expected that this change to policy would greatly change that dynamic.

    (b)  New Equipment or Other Capital Costs

    The Department of Medicaid does not expect any changes in capital costs.

    (c)  Operating Costs

    Counties may incur increased operating costs. However, each county operates daily at different work levels and funds the work done locally differently.

    Historically counties have not reported spending in excess of allocation and it is not expected that this change to policy would greatly change that dynamic.

    (d)  Any Indirect Central Service Costs

    Counties may incur increased indirect central service costs. However, each county operates daily at different work levels and funds the work done locally differently. Historically counties have not reported spending in excess of allocation and it is not expected that this change to policy would greatly change that dynamic.

    (e)  Other Costs

    The Department of Medicaid does not know whether counties will incur increased additional costs. There will be an increase in training costs as a result of the new Medicaid eligibility rules. However, each county operates daily at different work levels and funds the work done locally differently. Historically counties have not reported spending in excess of allocation and it is not expected that this change to policy would greatly change that dynamic.

    6.  Please provide a written explanation of the agency's and the local government's ability to pay for the new requirements imposed by the proposed rule.

    The Department of Medicaid has determined no new requirements are being imposed by the proposed rule.

    7.  Please provide a statement on the proposed rule's impact on economic development.

    The Department of Medicaid does not expect the proposed rules to have an impact on economic development.
