Bill > HB3156

This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to increase the Medicaid Access Adjustment payment for nursing facilities. Specifically, for dates of service beginning July 1, 2025, the Medicaid Access Adjustment will be increased from $4.75 to $5.75. This adjustment is an additional payment made to nursing facilities with high Medicaid occupancy (at least 70% Medicaid bed days). The bill is part of ongoing efforts to support nursing facilities by providing additional funding through a targeted per-diem payment. The Medicaid Access Adjustment is designed to help facilities that serve a high proportion of Medicaid patients, potentially helping to ensure these facilities can maintain financial stability and continue providing care to Medicaid recipients. The provision is set to be inoperative after January 1, 2028, suggesting it is a temporary measure to support nursing facilities during a specific period.
