F. Compliance costs for affected persons:
The only anticipated compliance costs to affected persons as a result of this amendment is a nominal decrease in revenue for Medicaid providers with the reduction assistance to refugees.
There is, however, no current information to determine how many of the approximately 160 refugees would receive Medicaid services in Utah or what those services might be. No other affected persons are anticipated to have a compliance cost.
