AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION

Cost Management and Control

RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:

59B-12.001 Bone Marrow Transplantation

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Agency is proposing to amend

Rule 59B-12.001, F.A.C., to update procedures based on

recommendations from the Bone Marrow Transplant Advisory

Panel.

SUMMARY: The proposed amendments include coverage for

cellular therapies which include cellular immunotherapies,

chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, cancer vaccines, and

other types of autologous and allogeneic cells for certain

therapeutic indications. The language mirrors that of the Food

and Drug Administration’s language for approved cellular

therapy.

New language adds to the specific conditions for which the use

of cellular therapies is necessary. The amendments also adjust

the conditions in sections one through three to add or move

conditions to the proper section.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED

REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE

RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse

impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly

regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within

one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not

been prepared by the Agency.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a

statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal

for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing

within 21 days of this notice.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 627.4236 F.S.

THE FULL TEXT OF THE PROPOSED RULE IS:

59B-12.001 Bone Marrow Transplantation

Bone marrow transplant refers collectively to hematopoietic

stem cell transplantation using stem cells that are collected from

peripheral blood and cord blood as well as bone marrow

following a conditioning regimen. As used in this rule, the term

“appropriate oncological specialty” means that where a

particular kind of tumor or disease is usually treated by a

subspecialty group within the general discipline of oncology,

those who practice within that subspecialty have had specific

input into the decision making process. Cellular therapies

therapy products include cellular immunotherapies, chimeric

antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, cancer vaccines, and other

types of both autologous and allogeneic cells for certain

therapeutic indications. Human gene therapy refers to products

that introduce genetic material into a person’s DNA to replace

faulty or missing genetic material, thus treating a disease or

abnormal medical condition.

(1) Upon the recommendation of the Bone Marrow

Transplant Panel, each of the following procedures meets a

minimum level of evidence based on high quality systematic

reviews of case control or cohort studies, high quality case-

control or cohort studies with a very low risk of confounding

bias, or chance, and a high probability that the relationship is

causal, and is considered accepted within the appropriate

oncological specialty and not experimental for the purposes of

Section 627.4236, F.S.

(a) Autologous bone marrow transplant for acute

myelogenous leukemia (stem cells collected in remission);

(b) Allogeneic bone marrow transplant for acute

myelogenous leukemia and myeloid sarcoma;

(c) Allogeneic bone marrow transplant for acute

64B8-30.014 Citation Authority

64B8-30.015 Disciplinary Guidelines

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule amendments are

intended to set forth citation violations and disciplinary

guidelines for the failure of physician assistants to consult the

prescription drug monitoring system. Additionally, the Rule

64B8-30.015 is being amended to change penalties for

prescribing medicinal drugs or controlled substances which

demonstrates a lack of reasonable skill or safety to patients.

SUMMARY: The proposed rule amendments to 64B8-30.014

set forth a first, second and third-time penalty for physician

assistants who fail to consult the prescription drug monitoring

system. The amendments to Rule 64B8-30.015 set forth revised

penalties for prescribing medicinal drugs or controlled

substances which demonstrates a lack of reasonable skill or

safety to patients; and set forth a penalty for failure to consult

the prescription drug monitoring system.



RATIFICATION:






The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not

expected to require legislative ratification based on the

statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is

required, the information expressly relied upon and described

herein: During discussion of the economic impact of this rule at

its Board meeting, the Board concluded that this rule change

will not have any impact on licensees and their businesses or



https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ruleNo.asp?id=64B8-30.014



4352

the businesses that employ them. The rule will not increase any

fees, business costs, personnel costs, will not decrease profit

opportunities, and will not require any specialized knowledge

to comply. This change will not increase any direct or indirect

regulatory costs. Hence, the Board determined that a Statement

of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) was not necessary and

that the rule will not require ratification by the Legislature. No

person or interested party submitted additional information

regarding the economic impact at that time.

64B15-6.011 Disciplinary Guidelines.

(1) Purpose. Pursuant to Section 456.072, F.S., the Boards

provide within this rule disciplinary guidelines which shall be

imposed upon physician assistant applicants or licensees whom

it regulates under Chapters 458 and 459, F.S. The purpose of

this rule is to notify such applicants and licensees of the ranges

of penalties which will routinely be imposed unless the Boards

find it necessary to deviate from the guidelines for the stated

reasons given within this rule. The ranges of penalties provided

below are based upon a single count violation of each provision

listed; for multiple counts of the violated provisions or a

combination of the violations the Boards shall consider a higher

penalty than that for a single, isolated violation. Each range

includes the lowest and highest penalty and all penalties falling

between, including continuing medical education (CME). The

purposes of the imposition of discipline are to punish the

applicants or licensees for violations and to deter them from

future violations; to offer opportunities for rehabilitation, when

appropriate; and to deter other applicants or licensees from

violations.

(2) Violations and Range of Penalties. In imposing

discipline upon physician assistant applicants and licensees, in

proceedings pursuant to Sections 120.57(1) and (2), F.S., the

Board shall act in accordance with the following disciplinary

guidelines and shall impose a penalty within the range

corresponding to the violations set forth below. The verbal

identification of offenses are descriptive only; the full language

of each statutory provision cited must be consulted in order to

determine the conduct included.
