Summary
Maryland Medicaid nursing home reimbursement rates will remain frozen at FY 2009 levels for FY 2010 due to budget constraints. The threshold for requesting interim rate changes increased from 5% to 10%, and personal needs allowances increased to $71/month for individuals and $142/month for couples.
Action Required
By July 1, 2009: Billing teams serving Maryland Medicaid nursing home patients must update rate expectations to reflect no increase from FY 2009 levels. Update interim rate change request procedures to use new 10% threshold instead of 5%. Adjust personal needs allowance calculations to $71 for individuals and $142 for couples in billing systems.
