Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 51511 - Nursing Facility Level B Services

(a) Payment to nursing facilities, hospitals, or public institutions providing Level B services in accordance with Section 51123 shall be as set forth in this section. As used in this section, the term "nursing facility Level B services" is defined as nursing facility services provided in accordance with Section 51123. Payment for service includes the Quality Assurance Fee pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 1324.21. Payment shall be as follows:

(1) For facilities with licensed bed capacities and located by county, for the 2004-05 rate year are as follows:

Bedsize	Los Angeles County	Santa Clara & Sonoma Counties	All Other Counties
1-59	$112.79	$137.95	$122.90
60+	$112.92	$146.81	$126.80

(2) For nursing facilities that are distinct parts of acute care hospitals, if such facilities are not state operated, the per diem reimbursement rate shall be the lesser of the facility's costs, as projected by the Department, or as listed in the chart below:

Distinct Part Nursing Facilities Effective Rate Year
2004-05	2005-06	2006-07
$236.82	$299.80	$310.68

(A) For purposes of this section, the rate year is August 1st through July 31st.

(B) The facility's projected costs shall be based on the audit report findings of cost reports with fiscal periods ending January 1 through December 31, two calendar years prior to the beginning of the effective rate year. In the event the provider appeals the audit, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14171, and the provider notifies the Department by June 1 of the effective rate year that the audit report findings have been modified by an appeal decision or an agreement between the hospital and the Department, the facility's projected costs shall be based on the modified audit findings.

(C) If the audit of a cost report is not issued by July 1 of the effective rate year, the Department shall establish an interim projected reimbursement rate based on the cost report with a fiscal period ending January 1 through December 31, two calendar years prior to the effective rate year, adjusted by an audit disallowance factor as listed in the chart below:

Audit Disallowance Factor Per Rate Year
2004-05	2005-06	2006-07
.95566	.95211	.95211

(D) The Department will use the facility's interim projected reimbursement rate in the computation of the prospective class median rate. Facilities that did not provide Nursing Facility Level B services to Medi-Cal patients during the cost report period and/or facilities with less than a full year's reported cost shall not be used to establish the prospective class median rate. In addition, facilities with Medi-Cal patient days representing less than 20 percent of their total patient days will be excluded from the median determination.

(E) If the facility has an interim reimbursement rate as specified in (C), when the audit report is issued or when the cost report is deemed true and correct under Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14170(a)(1), the Department shall adjust the facility's projected reimbursement rate retroactively to August 1 of the effective rate year, to reflect the cost determined pursuant to such audit, or to reflect the cost in the cost report in the event that cost report is deemed true and correct. The Department shall notify the provider of the revised rates within 45 days of issuance of the audit report.

(F) Interest will accrue from August 1 of the effective rate year, and be payable on any such underpayment or overpayment at a rate equal to the monthly average received on investment in the Surplus Money Investment Fund (as referenced in Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14171) during the month the audit report is issued.

(G) If a provider appeals an audit pursuant to Welfare & Institutions Code Section 14171, and there is a determination that the audit findings inaccurately reflect the audited facility's projected costs, the provider shall be entitled to seek a retroactive adjustment in its reimbursement rate, but the resulting reimbursement rate shall not exceed the prospective median rate as provided in subsection (a)(2).

(H) Payment under subsection (a)(2) shall only be made for services authorized pursuant to conditions set forth in Section 51335 for patients determined to need Level B services for other than post-surgical rehabilitation or therapy services.

(3) Reimbursement to any state-operated facility shall be based on its actual allowable costs.

(4) For facilities that are designated as swing bed facilities, the rates are listed in the chart below:

Swing Bed Facilities Effective Rate Year
2004-05	2005-06	2006-07
$229.96	$250.04	$269.26

(5) Reduced for leave of absence provided pursuant to Section 51535.

(6) Reduced for bed hold provided pursuant to Section 51535.1.

(b) Each provider of nursing facility level B services shall furnish all equipment, drugs, supplies, and services necessary to provide level B services except as provided in subsection (c). Such equipment, drugs, supplies, and services are, a minimum, those which are required by law, including those required by federal Medicaid regulations and state licensing regulations.

Facilities exceeding the $3.97 hourly wage shall certify that the additional funds received were used to ensure the continued delivery of quality care in such facility.

(1) The Department shall inspect relevant payroll and personnel records of facilities which are reimbursed for care of Medi-Cal patients under this section to insure that the wage increases provided for in the March 1, 1978, rate increases have been implemented. Any facility which has not made the wage and benefit increases, required by this section, shall be liable to the State for the amount of funds paid to such facilities for these wage increases, but not distributed to employees, plus a penalty of ten percent of the funds not distributed. The facility shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 14107, Welfare and Institutions Code.
