Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the Department of Health hereby gives public notice of the following:

The Department of Health proposes to amend the Title XIX (Medicaid) State Plan for long term care services to comply with recently enacted statutory provisions. The following provides clarification to a previously noticed provision.

Effective, for rate periods on and after April 1, 2009, the regional input price adjustment factors shall be based on the case mix predicted staffing for RNs, licensed practical nurses, nurses' aides, licensed therapists and therapist aides. For the rate period April 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the regional direct and indirect price adjustment factors applied to a facility's rate shall be based upon the 2002 financial and statistical data. Such methodology shall utilize 2002 regional direct and indirect price adjustment factor percentages calculated in the same manner as the 2001 percentages in existence on December 31, 2006 except every region shall receive a corridor to reflect the region's actual variation subject to a maximum statewide average variable corridor percentage of 10 percent. For rate periods beginning January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, regional direct and indirect price adjustment factors shall be applied to a facility's rate based on the utilization of 2008 financial and statistical data and using 2008 corridor percentages calculated in the same manner as the 2002 corridor percentages except every region shall receive a corridor to reflect the region's actual variation subject to a maximum statewide average variable corridor percentage of 10 percent. For the rate period beginning January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014, the regional direct and indirect price adjustment factors and the corridor percentages shall be based on financial and statistical data from the base period used for the operating component of rates for the 2012 rate period.
