Bill > HF2756

This bill modifies Minnesota's healthcare reimbursement regulations for nursing facilities by updating several key provisions related to resident assessments and case mix classification. Specifically, the bill introduces the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM), a new case mix classification system that will replace the current Resource Utilization Groups (RUG) system starting October 1, 2025. The bill expands the definitions of key terms like Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and adds new requirements for resident assessments, including a new provision that mandates a significant change in status assessment when a resident's infectious disease isolation ends. The bill also maintains existing audit procedures for nursing facilities, which include annual reviews of resident assessments, with provisions for expanded audits if significant discrepancies are found. The changes aim to align Minnesota's nursing facility reimbursement system more closely with federal guidelines from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, ensuring more accurate and up-to-date classification of residents' care needs and corresponding reimbursement rates.
