TITLE 405 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF FAMILY AND SOCIAL SERVICES

Economic Impact Statement

LSA Document #08-192

LSA Document #08-192 amends 405 IAC 5-3 and 405 IAC 5-21 to apply prior authorization to community mental health rehabilitation services. This rule will not have an impact on small businesses, as defined in IC 4-22-2.1-4, since none of the CHMC's would qualify as a small business.

The following section provides responses to the following questions outlined in IC 4-22-2.1-5:

1. An estimate of the number of small businesses, classified by industry sector, that will be subject to the proposed rule.

IC 4-22-2.1-4 defines a small business as any person, firm, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or association that:

(1) is actively engaged in business in Indiana and maintains its principal place of business in Indiana;

(2) is independently owned and operated;

(3) employs one hundred (100) or fewer full-time employees; and

(4) has gross annual receipts of five million dollars ($5,000,000) or less.

None of the CMHC's meet the requirements of a small business..

2. An estimate of the average annual reporting, record keeping, and other administrative costs that small business will incur to comply with the proposed rule.

No small business will incur any additional costs.

3. An estimate of the total annual economic impact that compliance will have on small businesses subject to the rule.

There is no annual economic impact on small businesses.

4. A statement justifying any requirement or cost that is imposed by the rule and not expressly required by law. The statement must reference any data, studies, or analyses relied upon by the agency in determining imposition of the requirement or cost is necessary.

The rule amendment imposes no additional cost or requirements on small businesses.

5. Any regulatory flexibility analysis that considers any less intrusive or less costly alternative methods of achieving the same purpose.

Since no small businesses are impacted by this rule, completing a regulatory flexibility analysis is not necessary.
