Maryland updates the DHMH 2129 form for nursing homes to request administrative day reimbursements, requiring more detailed documentation of alternative placement attempts and physician justification when residents cannot be moved.
Action Required
Immediately: Nursing facility billing teams must begin using the updated DHMH 2129 form when requesting administrative day reimbursements.
