Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 33 No. 5, February 2, 2007 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

These changes are in response to comments received from the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee. The rule amendment incorporates by reference the Florida Medicaid Rural Health Clinic Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, January 2007. The following change was made to the handbook.

On Page 2-31, Transvaginal Ultrasound, first sentence, we replaced “well documented” with “documented on the ultrasound report as a separate identifiable procedure.” The sentence now reads, “A transvaginal ultrasound is billable in addition to other obstetrical ultrasounds if medical necessity for this additional ultrasound is documented on the ultrasound report as a separate identifiable procedure with findings that is submitted with the claim.”
