Bill > SF855

This bill establishes a temporary rate increase for nursing facilities in Minnesota, specifically a $12.35 per resident day add-on to their existing reimbursement rates. The rate increase will be effective from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and is contingent upon federal approval. The rate add-on applies to nursing facilities currently reimbursed under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 256R, which governs the state's nursing facility payment system. The bill requires the commissioner of human services to notify the revisor of statutes once federal approval is obtained, which will trigger the implementation of the rate increase. This temporary financial boost is likely intended to help nursing facilities cover increased operational costs, potentially improve care quality, or address financial challenges in the long-term care sector.
