TITLE 405 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF FAMILY AND SOCIAL SERVICES

IC 4-22-2.1-5(a) provides that an agency that intends to adopt a rule under IC 4-22-2 that will impose requirements or costs on small businesses must prepare a statement that describes the annual economic impact of the rule on small businesses after the rule is fully implemented as described in IC 4-22-2.1-5(b). That statement must be submitted to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). The IEDC is required to review the rule and submit written comments to the agency not later than seven days before the public hearing.

The proposed rule amends 405 IAC 5-3-13 for the purpose of including neuropsychological and psychological testing as services that require prior authorization. It also amends 405 IAC 5-20-8 for purposes of adding practitioners who may be reimbursed for neuropsychological and psychological testing and includes practitioner obligations.

The Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) estimates that there are fewer than 10 small businesses as defined in IC 4-22-2.1-4 that will be subject to the proposed rule.

The FSSA estimates that there will be minimal administrative costs imposed on small businesses as a result of compliance with the proposed rule.

The FSSA estimates that there will be no economic impact on small businesses.

The FSSA offers no justification of requirements or costs as the proposed rule imposes no requirements or costs on small businesses.

The FSSA does not propose an alternative regulatory method since the proposed rule has no impact on small businesses.
