HB 2898: Medicaid payment/nursing

Simplifying medicaid payment for nursing facilities.

Summary

  • Repeals provision related to reporting, auditing, settlement, allowable costs, billing/payment, administration, patient trust funds, appeals, and public disclosure in the current nursing home payment statute and directs the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to establish these in rule.
  • Provides eleven principles to be used by the DSHS when re-establishing the repealed provisions in rule.
  • Retains the specific rate setting methodology in statute, commonly referred to as Part E, and the Auto-Immune Deficiency Syndrome pilot nursing facility (also known as the Bailey-Boushay House in Seattle).
  • Removes historical language, dates, and references from statute that have been superseded by subsequent legislative changes.
