Summary
Maryland Medicaid nursing home reimbursement rates for Fiscal Year 2002 are being updated with interim rates based on cost report data and additional funding from Senate Bill 794. The rates include significant increases across all nursing regions and new payment methodologies for different levels of care.
Action Required
By July 1, 2001: Nursing home billing teams must update their accounting systems and rate schedules with the new FY 2002 interim rates provided in the rate letter. Verify the correct provider number matches your facility. Update billing software to reflect the new regional nursing service rates, administrative/routine cost center ceilings, and other patient care cost center rates based on your facility's region (Baltimore, Washington, Non-Metro, Central, or Western Maryland). Coordinate with accountants and bookkeepers to set up accounts with the new rate structure. Any changes in capital status must be reported to Clifton Gunderson L.L.C. immediately.
