Summary
New Jersey Medicaid is distributing up to $18 million in supplemental payments to nursing facilities with ≥75% Medicaid occupancy as of June 30, 2004. Facilities must submit a Facility Occupancy Statement by August 31, 2004, or forfeit eligibility. The per diem rate adjustment will be calculated based on verified Medicaid patient days and reconciled in May 2005.
Action Required
By August 31, 2004: Nursing facility administrators must complete and submit the Facility Occupancy Statement form via certified mail to the Office of Nursing Facility Rate Setting and Reimbursement. The form requires accurate counts of: (1) Medicaid beneficiaries receiving payment on 6/30/04, (2) Medicaid applicants/approved beneficiaries anticipated for payment on 6/30/04, and (3) residents billed to Medicare on 6/30/04 who previously received Medicaid reimbursement. Include patient name/Medicaid number lists (no SSNs). Form must be completed in pen with original signature and no erasures. Special Care Nursing Facilities must submit separate forms for each independent unit. Failure to submit by the deadline results in automatic ineligibility for supplemental payment. NOTE: This policy is from August 2004 and the submission deadline has long passed; this is historical/archived information not applicable to current billing operations.
