Summary
Maryland Medicaid nursing home reimbursement rates for fiscal year 2004 have been updated with new interim rates effective July 1, 2003. Several nursing procedures (behavior management, ostomy care, and injections) are now eliminated as separate billing items and merged into per diem payments for the four levels of care.
Action Required
By July 1, 2003: Maryland nursing facilities must stop billing separately for behavior management, ostomy care, and injection procedures as these are now included in per diem rates. Update billing systems to use the new fiscal year 2004 interim rates provided in the facility-specific rate letter. Provide rate information to accounting staff for proper account setup.
