Request Title Increase Payment Rate by 15% for Nursing Homes with Special Populations
Biennium 2016-2018
Budget Round Initial Bill
Half Sheet Number 306 #22c
Description

This amendment adds funding and language in the second year to change the reimbursement methodology for nursing facilities that provide services to a resident population in which at least 80 percent of the residents have specific chronic and disabling conditions and the facility has at least a 90 percent Medicaid utilization and a case mix index of 1.15 or higher in fiscal year 2017. These conditions tend to occur in a younger population who consequently have a significantly longer stay in a nursing facility than many nursing home residents. Consequently, the costs to serve these individuals is much higher. Currently, only one nursing facility, the Virginia Home, would meet the criteria to qualify for additional funding pursuant to the reimbursement methodology change.
