Emergency Rule Changes
Emergency changes to Medicaid rules. The Bulletins found here are emergency rule changes and are temporary rules (only in effect for 120 days), they take effect immediately upon filing with the Office of the Secretary of State (unless otherwise stated in the rule), and may be filed concurrent with the filing of a proposed permanent rule change. Once adopted through permanent rule change or upon expiration, the emergency rules will be removed from this page. DVHA online rules will not be updated to reflect emergency rule changes until or unless associated permanent rule changes have been adopted.
