The department of medicaid shall make its best efforts each year to calculate nursing facilities' medicaid payment rates under this chapter in time to pay the rates by the fifteenth day of August of each state fiscal year. If the department is unable to calculate the rates so that they can be paid by that date, the department shall pay each provider the rate calculated for the provider's nursing facilities under this chapter at the end of the previous state fiscal year. If the department also is unable to calculate the rates to pay the rates by the fifteenth day of September and the fifteenth day of October, the department shall pay the previous state fiscal year's rate to make those payments. The department may increase by five per cent the previous state fiscal year's rate paid for any nursing facility pursuant to this section at the request of the provider. The department shall use rates calculated for the current state fiscal year to make the payments due by the fifteenth day of November.

If the rate paid to a provider for a nursing facility pursuant to this section is lower than the rate calculated for the nursing facility for the current state fiscal year, the department shall pay the provider the difference between the two rates for the number of days for which the provider was paid for the nursing facility pursuant to this section. If the rate paid for a nursing facility pursuant to this section is higher than the rate calculated for it for the current state fiscal year, the provider shall refund to the department the difference between the two rates for the number of days for which the provider was paid for the nursing facility pursuant to this section.
