MSB 09-12-21-A. Nursing Facilities. Pursuant to SB 09-263 revision to the nursing facility reimbursement methodology includes reinstatement of the eight per cent (8%) per year growth limitation on allowable health care services costs and changing the per diem add-on payments for quality performance measures, cognitive loss/dementia or acquired brain injury, PASRR Level II residents and the provider fee offset to a supplemental payment paid monthly to nursing facility providers. Additionally, supplemental payments will be made from the provider fee collected from nursing facility providers for the state share of the base rate components of direct and indirect health care services costs, administrative and general services costs and capital services costs exceeding the statutory limitation on annual growth in the general fund. The authority for this rule is contained in 25.5-6-201 through 25.5-6-203, C.R.S. (2009).
MSB 09-11-24-A The Revision to the Medical Assistance Eligibility Rule Concerning Expansion of Parent Eligibility. This rule expands Medicaid eligibility to parents up to 100% of Federal Poverty Level. The authority for this rule is contained in 25.5-1-301 through 25.5-1-303 (2008).
MSB 10-03-08-A. Revision to the Medical Assistance Rule Concerning Amending Hospital Supplemental Payments, Sections 8.300.8.B and 8.903.C. This proposed rule modifies and/or deletes sections of current rule that describe the methodology for making supplemental Medicaid and disproportionate share hospital payments to hospitals. These sections will no longer be applicable and are to be replaced upon implementation of the Colorado Health Care Affordability Act of 2009 (Act), C.R.S. 25.5-4-402.3. Statutory authority for this rule is found in Sections 25.5-1-301 through 25.5-1-303, and 25.5-4-402.3, C.R.S., (2009).
MSB 10-03-08-B. Hospital Provider Fee Collection and Disbursement, Section 8.2000. This proposed rule establishes the reimbursement methodology for supplemental Medicaid and disproportionate share hospital payments to hospitals under “The Colorado Health Care Affordability Act of 2009” (Act). The Act authorizes the Department to assess a hospital provider fee to generate additional federal Medicaid matching funds to improve reimbursement rates for inpatient and outpatient hospital services provided through Medicaid and the Colorado Indigent Care Program (CICP). Statutory authority for this rule is found in Sections 25.5-1-301 through 25.5-1-303, and 25.5-4-402.3, C.R.S., (2009).
