AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION
Cost Management and Control
RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
59B-16.001: Definitions
59B-16.002: Universal Patient Authorization Forms
NOTICE OF CORRECTION
Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 38 No. 1, January 6, 2012 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

The Notice of Proposed Rule did not fully address information that should have been included under the Summary of Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs and Legislative Ratification. Amendments to Rule 59B-16.001, F.A.C., clarify a definition and remove an outdated rule reference and will not impose any additional costs. Based on that analysis, the Agency has determined that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S., is required for amendment of these rules. Amendments to Rule 59B-16.002, F.A.C., incorporate by reference revised Universal Patient Authorization Forms that clarify permissions and revocation of permissions in the forms and will not impose any additional costs. Amendments to Rule 59B-16.002, F.A.C., also incorporate by reference Spanish language versions of the forms and will not impose any additional costs. Based on that analysis, the Agency has determined that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S., is required for amendment of these rules.
