Bill > SB1807

This bill amends the state Medicaid program by eliminating a previously reduced assessment rate for certain nursing facilities, specifically those that were licensed continuum of care facilities on or before September 1, 2012. The Medicaid program, which is a joint federal and state program providing health coverage to low-income individuals, uses a Nursing Facilities Quality of Care Fee to fund enhancements to care. Previously, these specific facilities had a lower fee rate, but this bill mandates that their assessment rate will increase to match the rate applied to all other facilities, ensuring a uniform assessment rate for all licensed nursing facilities in the state. The bill also clarifies definitions and updates statutory language related to this fee, with an effective date of November 1, 2026.
