Summary
Illinois Medicaid policy clarifies that Skilled Living Facilities (SLFs) must report all move-in incentives and extra income given to residents to the Department of Human Services caseworker. The policy reinforces that unreported incentives will be deducted from Medicaid payments and subjects facilities to Bureau review.
Action Required
Immediately: SLFs providing move-in incentives must ensure all extra income is reported to DHS caseworker by resident, family, or facility. For enhanced personal needs allowances above $90, provide written notice to Bureau of Long Term Care stating incentive policy, begin/end dates, and additional amounts. Billing team must track and report these incentives as they will be deducted from Medicaid payments.
