101 CMR 512.04 - Calculation of User Fee
(1) EOHHS or its
designee calculates the per diem user fee annually. The user
fee is calculated as follows.
(a) Determine
the amount of revenue to be collected in a fiscal year in accordance with
M.G.L. c. 118E, § 63.
(b)
Determine the expected number of non-Medicare patient days in Group I
facilities.
(c) Determine the
expected number of non-Medicare patient days in Group II facilities.
(d) Determine the standard rate such that the
product of estimated non-Medicare patient days in Group I facilities and the
Group I facility user fee rate and the product of estimated non-Medicare
patient days in Group II facilities and the Group II facility user fee rate
equal the amount of revenue to be collected in a fiscal year in accordance with
M.G.L. c. 118E, § 63.
(2) Group I will pay the standard rate per
non-Medicare patient day.
(3) Group
II will pay 30% of the standard rate.
(4) The total collections are prohibited from
exceeding 6% of the revenues received by the taxpayer class.
(5) Effective January 1, 2023, the user fee
will be applied as follows.
|
Facility Group |
Per Diem User Fee |
Relative Rate % |
|
Group I |
$24.16 |
100% |
|
Group II |
$7.25 |
30% |
(6) If,
during the course of the fiscal year, EOHHS determines that the total amount of
user fee revenue will be significantly different than previously estimated, it
may recalculate the user fee and may change the user fee prospectively by
administrative bulletin to reflect such changes based on the methodology
described in
101
CMR 512.04(1).
