Original Notice.

Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 99-20-035.

Title of Rule: Chapter 246-130 WAC, Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) early intervention program.

Purpose: The HIV early intervention program helps eligible persons with HIV infection in Washington state pay for prescription medications and other services to treat HIV infection. Chapter 246-130 WAC identifies the services the program offers, how the department decides what services to offer, how clients may access the services, how providers are reimbursed, and how the public may provide input.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 43.70.040.

Statute Being Implemented: RCW 43.70.120.

Summary: The changes the department is proposing for chapter 246-130 WAC are intended to make the rules more user-friendly and clarify the program's policies and procedures.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: The HIV client services program receives a substantial amount of funding from the federal government, and the provisions of chapter 246-130 WAC help clarify that the program has sufficient legal basis and programmatic infrastructure necessary to use those funds.

Name of Proponent: Washington State Department of Health, governmental.

Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: The changes that the department is proposing for chapter 246-130 WAC are intended to make the chapter more user-friendly and to clarify the program's policies and procedures. The proposed amendments will help Washington state residents who are infected with HIV understand what services the Department of Health offers and how they can access them. The chapter was last amended in 1995 and since that time the program's enrollment and use of resources has grown considerably. The proposed amendment to chapter 246-130 WAC identifies what services the HIV client services program offers, and how it makes programmatic decisions regarding the provision of those services. Finally, the existing rule language is fairly broad and much of it contains legalistic phrasing that is difficult for people to follow. The proposed language is clearer and easier to comprehend. Also, it provides more complete program information that helps the reader understand more about how the program operates and how the public can access more information.

Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: One of the critical areas in which it provides more clarity is the section that defines who is eligible for the program (WAC 246-130-040). The additional detail describes how the program makes eligibility decisions and reinforces the public's ability to affect those decisions. As with other eligibility criteria, the proposed changes stress that the public has the opportunity to affect financial eligibility rules. Another section in which the department proposes to add clarifying detail is WAC 246-130-030, which describes how the HIV client services program interacts with the medical providers who are contracted with the program to provide services for its clients. The proposed changes add detail that informs providers what they must do to receive payment for their services, and stresses that the contract between the department and the providers defines the legal relationship that allows the agency to reimburse them for their services.

A small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW.

     RCW 43.70.040 describes the general rule-making authority of the secretary of the Department of Health. The purpose of the statute is to allow the secretary to adopt rules that protect public health. RCW 43.70.120 requires the Department of Health to adopt rules that are necessary to allow the department to receive federal funds. The HIV client services program receives a substantial amount of funding from the federal government, and the provisions of chapter 246-130 WAC help clarify that the program has sufficient legal basis and programmatic infrastructure necessary to receive those funds.

     The changes that the department is proposing to make to chapter 246-130 WAC are intended to make the chapter more user-friendly and to clarify the program's existing policies and procedures. The proposed amendments will help Washington state residents who are HIV positive understand what services the Department of Health offers and how they can access them. The chapter was last amended in 1995 and since that time the program's enrollment and use of resources has grown considerably. The proposed amendment to chapter 246-130 WAC will help Washington state residents understand what services the HIV client services program offers, and how it makes programmatic decisions regarding the provision of those services.

     Small Business Economic Impact Statements: Pursuant to requirements of the Regulatory Fairness Act (act), state agencies must prepare a small business economic impact statement (SBEIS) prior to proposing a new regulation. The impetus for this legislation was a concern that regulatory mandates could "...threaten the very existence of some small businesses" (RCW 19.85.011). The act defines a small business as "any business entity, including a sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, that is owned and operated independently from all other businesses, that has the purpose of making a profit, and that has fifty or fewer employees" (RCW 19.85.020).

     The Department of Health prepared this SBEIS as required by the Regulatory Fairness Act. The department used the following process to determine whether the act mandates that the proposed rule include regulatory relief for small businesses.

Step I	Determine the categories of businesses affected by the proposed regulations.
Step II	Determine the employment profile for each business category.
Step III	Determine the "more than minor" cost threshold.
Step IV	Determine whether the estimated cost exceeds the "more than minor" cost threshold for each category of business.
Step V	Determine whether the proposed regulation imposes a disproportionate cost burden on small businesses.
Step VI	Determine whether regulatory relief is legal and feasible.
Step VII	Describe the regulatory relief provided to small businesses.
Step VIII	Miscellaneous SBEIS requirements.

     This process need not result in the provision of regulatory relief. At several steps along this process the department could determine that regulatory relief is not warranted or even that an SBEIS is not necessary. For example, if in Step II all businesses found within an industrial category had more (or less) than fifty employees, the regulation could not, by definition, disproportionately affect small businesses. Such a finding would obviate the need to provide regulatory relief. Or, if the cost to businesses determined in Step IV were below the "more than minor" cost threshold, then, by law, an SBEIS is not required. Similarly, the department could determine that it could not legally provide regulatory relief in Step VI.

     Step I: What businesses are affected by the proposed regulation? The businesses affected by the proposed regulation are health care providers contracted by the department to supply pharmaceutical, medical, dental or laboratory services to clients of the early intervention program (EIP). These businesses are represented by the following SIC codes: 591 = pharmaceutical; 805 = medical; 802 = dental; and 807 = laboratory.

     Step II: What is the employment profile of businesses affected by the proposed regulation? The health care providers affected by the proposed revision are both small and large. For the purposes of this analysis the department will consider the costs to two categories of provider businesses: 0-49 employees (small) and over 50 (large).

     Step III: What are the "more than minor" cost thresholds for businesses affected by the proposed regulation? An SBEIS is required whenever a regulation imposes "more than minor" costs on a regulated business. The "more than minor" thresholds were developed by the Washington State Business Assistance Center (Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development) and the amount is dependent on a business' SIC code. The threshold for SIC codes in the three digit 591 and 805 categories are $50; for 802 the threshold is $170, and for 807 the threshold is $300. For ease of analysis the department will consider anything over $50 as the threshold for "more than minor" costs for all the codes.

     Step IV: Do the costs imposed by the proposed rule exceed the "more than minor" cost threshold? The proposed regulations do not impose any new costs and therefore do not exceed the "more than minor" thresholds. The revisions only clarify how the department will provide reimbursement to contracted providers. The proposed changes to chapter 246-130 WAC do not result in additional costs to HIV positive individuals, members of the affected community, or contracted medical service providers. The revision more clearly describes the services offered and the criteria that it uses to determine program eligibility. The department and members of the affected community who developed the draft amendment worked hard to ensure that the proposed changes capture and describe in WAC the manner in which the HIV client services program should operate. The intent of amending the chapter is to make it clearer and easier to use, not to make programmatic changes that affect critical items such as cost or program-provider relationships.

     The current WAC has a broad statement that says the department will reimburse contracted providers for services they provide to eligible clients and that the department will produce a schedule of reimbursement for covered services. The following are examples of clarification of the department's relationship with providers in the proposed WAC. WAC 246-130-030 answers the question of how the department pays providers. It states the department will pay contracted providers for covered services, and that the providers must bill within one hundred eighty days from the date of service. Subsection (3) says that payment depends upon availability of funds, and that the department will provide written notice to clients and providers before it reduces its schedule of covered services. Subsection (4) says that must use contractual procedures to solve disputes. Subsection (5) requires providers to bill according to the terms of their contracts, and subsection (6) defines the department as the payer of last resort.

     Step V: Does the proposed regulation impose a disproportionate cost burden on small businesses? The proposed regulation does not impose a disproportionate cost burden on small business because there is no change in cost burden to either small or large businesses. The cost of contracting with the department under the WAC revision is unchanged and will be the same, no matter the size of the operation.

     Step VI: Is regulatory relief for small businesses necessary, legal and feasible? There is no need for regulatory relief for small businesses because the proposed revision does not impose a disproportionate cost burden on small businesses.

     Step VII: Miscellaneous SBEIS requirements: How did the department involve affected businesses and other interested parties in the development of the rule? The department solicited stakeholder input from the beginning of the revision process. The Early Intervention Program Steering Committee participated in the initial review that determined that the existing rule was basically sound, that it did not require major changes, but that it would be useful to amend the chapter to make it easier to understand and use. The steering committee includes a pharmacist from a large employer, and physician from a large employer, and representatives from not-for-profit agencies. In addition, drafts of the proposed revision have been sent to a large mailing list of "interested persons" that includes some businesses affected by the rules such as pharmaceutical companies and health consultants. The CR-102 will be mailed to all contracted medical and dental providers.

RCW 34.05.328 applies to this rule adoption. DOH staff reviewed the revisions to the existing WAC and determined that it meets the definition of a "significant legislative rule." Therefore, we analyzed the probable costs and benefits of the revisions, taking into account both the qualitative and quantitative benefits and costs. The analysis revealed that no new costs will be imposed, existing costs will not be increased, and benefits to businesses will not be decreased.

The department will provide information on the cause for denied benefits, how a proceeding may be requested, the forms necessary to request a proceeding and information on required time frames.

     (2) Applicants and clients may not appeal the department's denial or limitations when the department closes or limits an early intervention program service due to funding availability. See WAC 246-130-030(3) for more details.

     (3) Rate and payment disputes between providers and the department are handled by contract.

     (4) Clients of any other public agency must use that agency's process to resolve eligibility or other disputes regarding that agency. MAA's fair hearings process is described in chapter 388-08 WAC.
