HB 2357: Nursing facilities/medicaid

Concerning modifying nursing facility medicaid payments by clarifying legislative intent regarding the statewide weighted average, freezing case mix indices, and revising the use of the economic trends and conditions factor.

Summary

  • Clarifies how vendor rate adjustments are calculated based on economic trends and conditions.
  • Authorizes the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to freeze temporarily the case mix indices used for case mix adjustments until the upgrade to the new Minimum Data Set (MDS).
  • Requires the DSHS to review the non-case mix adjusted period and make retrospective payment adjustments to the nursing facilities for that time period once the new MDS system is in place.
