Summary
Michigan Medicaid will implement severe penalties for nursing facilities that file cost reports late, effective October 1, 2024. Late filers will face 100% payment reduction plus a 10% penalty on all claims starting 15 days after the due date until compliance.
Action Required
Before October 1, 2024: Nursing facility billing teams must ensure all Medicaid cost reports are submitted by their original due dates to avoid 100% payment reduction and 10% penalty on all claims. Facilities with licensed-only or Medicare-only beds must submit required census data on time to avoid $20 per bed per day penalties. Update billing workflows to track cost report deadlines and set alerts 30 days before due dates.
