Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Jun. 01, 1999
The issue in this case is whether Rule 59G-4.010, Florida Administrative Code, including pages 1-5 and 1-6 of the Florida Medicaid Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner Coverage and Limitations Handbook (the "ARNP Handbook"), which is incorporated in the rule by reference, is an invalid exercise of delegated legislative authority.Challenged portion of rule, adopting by reference ARNP Medicaid Providers handbook, invalidly modifies statutes implemented. No rationale for limitations on mobile units; delegating to other entities authority to deny mobile unit participation in program.
