SB 5724: Nursing home auditing/reimbu

Modifying nursing home auditing and reimbursement.

Summary

This reduced rate of increase is due to eight primary changes made in the reimbursement system: 1)There is a full-scale rate recalculation every two years, rather than every year as under the current system.
