Text

1.  To implement fully the provisions of section 208.152 , the MO HealthNet division shall calculate the Medicaid per diem reimbursement rates of each nursing home participating in the Medicaid program as a provider of nursing home services based on its costs reported in the Title XIX cost report filed with the MO HealthNet division for its fiscal year as provided in subsection 2 of this section.

2.  The recalculation of Medicaid rates to all Missouri facilities will be performed as follows:  effective July 1, 2004, the department of social services shall use the Medicaid cost report containing adjusted costs for the facility fiscal year ending in 2001 and redetermine the allowable per-patient day costs for each facility.  The department shall recalculate the class ceilings in the patient care, one hundred twenty percent of the median; ancillary, one hundred twenty percent of the median; and administration, one hundred ten percent of the median cost centers.  Each facility shall receive as a rate increase one-third of the amount that is unpaid based on the recalculated cost determination.
