            3. This amended notice is being filed to correct an error in the assigned Montana Administrative Register (MAR) notice number for the proposal notice and an error to references to MAR 37-435 in the rationale. The proposal notice was inadvertently assigned a MAR notice number that was already assigned and in use by the previously filed notice pertaining to Medicaid inpatient hospital reimbursement published on June 26, 2008 as 37-445 on page 1281 of issue number 12. The proposal notice being amended in this notice of amendment is renumbered to MAR notice number 37-449. In addition, the rationale contained references to MAR notice number 37-435 and should have referred to the previously filed notice pertaining to Medicaid inpatient hospital reimbursement published on June 26, 2008 as 37-445 on page 1281 of issue number 12 instead.

 

            4. All other provisions in the proposal notice published on July 17, 2008 at page 1417 of the 2008 Montana Administrative Register, issue number 13 remain the same.
