BILL · 2019–20 SESSION

SB 6250: Nursing facilities

Concerning nursing facilities.

Summary

Modifies the Department of Social and Health Services' (DSHS) skilled nursing facility (SNF) inspection requirements so they are consistent with federal law.
Removes the three-year renewal limit for the 24/7 registered nurse staffing exception.
Modifies the SNF Medicaid rate methodology so rates are rebased every year rather than every other year.
Authorizes a one-time inflationary adjustment for fiscal year 2021 rates, using the 24-month consumer-price index for all urban consumers.
Requires the DSHS to report 2017- 2019 rates paid versus incurred costs for the Legislature to determine the need for regular inflationary adjustments.
