Summary
New Jersey Medicaid has applied a 3.5% Social Security cost of living adjustment (COLA) effective January 1, 2001, which automatically recalculated patient payment amounts for long-term care facilities. Facilities must review the COLA UPDATE REPORT and update patient payment amounts on billing documents if the difference is $1.00 or more.
Action Required
Review the enclosed COLA UPDATE REPORT comparing NET INC BEFORE and NET INC AFTER columns to current patient payment amounts on Long Term Care Turn Around Documents (MCNH-117) Block #35. If difference is $1.00 or more: update patient payment amount on TAD form and submit to Unisys, then inform CBOSS or Medicaid ISS office that new PR-1 needs completion. If difference is less than $1.00: only update TAD form, do not contact CBOSS/ISS office.
