HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT[441]

Adopted and Filed Emergency After Notice

Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 249A.4, the Department of Human Services amends Chapter 24, "Accreditation of Providers of Services to Persons with Mental Illness, Intellectual Disabilities, or Developmental Disabilities," Chapter 25, "Disability Services Management," Chapter 78, "Amount, Duration and Scope of Medical and Remedial Services," Chapter 79, "Other Policies Relating to Providers of Medical and Remedial Care," Chapter 83, "Medicaid Waiver Services," Chapter 88, "Managed Health Care Providers," and Chapter 90, "Targeted Case Management," Iowa Administrative Code.

Current administrative rules do not comply with the current versions of medically related resource manuals as specified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, pursuant to the administrative simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA, Title II). Specifically, the administrative rules stipulating services covered under the Iowa Medicaid program currently refer to outdated versions of the following resource manuals: International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT), and American Society of Addiction Medicine Patient Placement Criteria for the Treatment of Addictive, Substance-Related and Co-Occurring Conditions (ASAM-PPC). In order to keep these references current without having to amend them in the future, the Department is amending the administrative rules to refer to the "current version" of the resource.

In addition, the amendments:

• Update the definitions of "mental retardation" and "serious emotional disturbance" and the term "developmental disorders," pursuant to the current version of the DSM.

• Eliminate the references to "V codes," pursuant to the change of that designation in the current version of the ICD.

• Update ICD diagnoses listed in subrule 78.8(2) regarding coverage of chiropractic manipulative therapy (CMT), pursuant to the current version of the ICD.

• Update coverage of mental health and substance abuse services in rule 441—88.61(249A) and subrule 88.65(5), pursuant to the current version of the ICD.

• Change the diagnosis of "bulimia" to "bulimia nervosa," pursuant to the current version of the DSM.

• Eliminate the diagnosis of "bulimarexia," pursuant to the current version of the DSM.

• Rescind the definition of "International classifications of diseases—fourth edition, ninth revision (ICD-9)" in paragraph 79.1(16)"a" because the term is not used in the current version of subrule 79.1(16) and, therefore, is being removed because it is obsolete.

Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin as ARC 2062C on July 22, 2015. The Department received comments from one respondent regarding these amendments. The respondent's comments and the Department's response are as follows:

The respondent's comments were regarding Item 4 under this rule making, which generally makes various technical corrections to various current rules, including in Item 4. Item 4 amends subrule 78.1(24), which is related to the application of topical fluoride varnish. The amendment to the subrule updates technical references to the Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature. The current version of subrule 78.1(24) and the amended subrule as published under Notice both use the term "physician," as it relates to such practitioners providing these services. The respondent asserted that the subrule's language limiting practitioners to "physicians" would exclude other appropriately licensed and competent health professionals from providing these services within the scope of their professional licensure. In this regard, the respondent recommended revising the amendment to 78.1(24) to add the phrase "or auxiliary personnel" after the word "physicians."

The Department's response is as follows: It is important to note that the use of the term "physicians" in the context of both the current version of subrule 78.1(24) and the amended version adopted herein is related to the fact that the subrule is under the broader rule 441—78.1(249A) pertaining to "physicians services." That fact notwithstanding, the Department understands the respondent's concerns and agrees with the respondent's reason for revision and has revised the introductory paragraph of subrule 78.1(24) to read as follows:

"78.1(24) Topical fluoride varnish. Payment shall be made for application of an FDA-approved topical fluoride varnish, as defined by the current version of the Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT) published by the American Dental Association, for the purpose of preventing the worsening of early childhood caries in children aged 0 to 36 months of age, when rendered by physicians or other appropriately licensed practitioners under the supervision of or in collaboration with a physician and who are acting within the scope of their practice, licensure, and other applicable state law, subject to the following provisions and limitations:"

Pursuant to Iowa Code section 17A.5(2)"b"(2) as amended by 2015 Iowa Acts, House File 536, section 27, the Department finds that the normal effective date of these amendments, 35 days after the publication, should be waived and the amendments should be made effective October 1, 2015. The normal effective date can be waived since these amendments will confer a benefit on the public. The amendments confer a benefit on the public by ensuring that state regulations remain in compliance with federal regulations and requirements in accordance with federal law. These updates to references were mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The Council on Human Services adopted these amendments on September 9, 2015.

These amendments do not provide for waivers in specified situations because requests for the waiver of any rule may be submitted under the Department's general rule on exceptions at 441—1.8(17A,217).

After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found.

These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code section 249A.4.

These amendments will become effective October 1, 2015.

The following amendments are adopted.

Item 1. Amend rule 441—24.1(225C), definitions of "Mental retardation" and "Serious emotional disturbance," as follows:

"Mental retardation Intellectual disability" means a diagnosis of mental retardation intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder), global developmental delay, or unspecified intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) under these rules which shall be made only when the onset of the person's condition was before the age of 18 years during the developmental period and shall be based on an assessment of the person's intellectual functioning and level of adaptive skills. A licensed psychologist or psychiatrist who is professionally trained to administer the tests required to assess intellectual functioning and to evaluate a person's adaptive skills shall make the diagnosis. A diagnosis of mental retardation intellectual disability shall be made in accordance with the criteria provided in the current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, published by the American Psychiatric Association.

"Serious emotional disturbance" means a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder that (1) is of sufficient duration to meet diagnostic criteria for the disorder specified by the current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR), published by the American Psychiatric Association; and (2) has resulted in a functional impairment that substantially interferes with or limits a consumer's role or functioning in family, school, or community activities. "Serious emotional disturbance" shall not include developmental neurodevelopmental disorders, substance-related disorders, or conditions or problems classified in the current version of the DSM-IV-TR as "other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention," (V codes), unless those conditions co-occur with another diagnosable serious emotional disturbance.

Item 2. Amend paragraph 25.41(2)"c" as follows:

c. Demographic information including date of birth, sex, ethnicity, marital status, education, residential living arrangement, current employment status, monthly income, income sources, type of insurance, insurance carrier, veterans' status, guardianship status, legal status in the system, source of referral, diagnosis in the current version of the DSM IV diagnosis, diagnosis in the current version of the ICD-9 diagnosis, disability group (i.e., mental retardation intellectual disability, developmental disability, chronic mental illness, mental illness), central point of coordination (county number preceded by A 1), and central point of coordination (CPC) name.

Item 3. Amend paragraph 25.41(3)"b," table entries for "DSMIV" and "ICD9," as follows:

Item 4. Amend subrule 78.1(24) as follows:

78.1(24) Topical fluoride varnish. Payment shall be made for application of an FDA-approved topical fluoride varnish, as defined by the current version of the Current Dental Terminology, Third Edition Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT-3), published by the American Dental Association, for the purpose of preventing the worsening of early childhood caries in children aged 0 to 36 months of age, when rendered by physicians or other appropriately licensed practitioners under the supervision of or in collaboration with a physician and who are acting within the scope of their practice, licensure, and other applicable state law, subject to the following provisions and limitations:

a. to d. No change.

Item 5. Rescind paragraph 78.8(2)"a" and adopt the following new paragraph in lieu thereof:

a. The subluxation must have resulted in a neuromusculoskeletal condition set forth in the table below for which CMT is appropriate treatment. The symptoms must be directly related to the subluxation that has been diagnosed. The mere statement or diagnosis of "pain" is not sufficient to support the medical necessity of CMT. CMT must have a direct therapeutic relationship to the patient's condition. No other diagnostic or therapeutic service furnished by a chiropractor is covered under the Medicaid program.
