5111.178 Application for federal medicaid requirements waiver.
(A) The director of job and family services shall determine whether a waiver of federal medicaid requirements is necessary to fulfill the requirements of section 3901.3814 of the Revised Code. If the director determines a waiver is necessary, the department of job and family services shall apply to the United States secretary of health and human services for the waiver.
(B)(1) If the director determines that section 3901.3814 of the Revised Code can be implemented without a waiver or a waiver is granted, the department shall notify the department of insurance that the section can be implemented. Implementation of the section shall be effective eighteen months after the notice is sent.
(2) At the time the notice is given under division (B)(1) of this section, the department shall also give notice to each health insuring corporation that provides coverage to medicaid recipients. The notice shall inform the corporation that sections 3901.38 and 3901.381 to 3901.3814 of the Revised Code apply to claims for services rendered to recipients on the date determined under division (B)(1) of this section, instead of the prompt payment requirements of 42 C.F.R. 447.46. That date shall be specified in the notice.
Effective Date: 06-30-2006
