Sec. 11. The office shall adopt emergency rules under IC 4-22-2-37.1 to achieve the reductions needed to avoid expenditures exceeding the Medicaid appropriation made by P.L.224-2003 in the line item appropriation to the FAMILY AND SOCIAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, MEDICAID - CURRENT OBLIGATIONS. To the extent that reductions are made to optional Medicaid services as set forth in 42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq., the reductions may be accomplished on a pro rata basis with each optional service being reduced by a proportionate amount. However, the reductions may not be made in a manner that results in the elimination of any optional Medicaid service.
As added by P.L.160-2012, SEC.18.
