Bill Summary
This bill requires nursing homes to include certain cost reports with the annual financial reports currently submitted to the Department of Health (department). The bill amends existing law, which requires nursing homes to submit annual financial reports to the department, by adding an additional item to be submitted to the department: the nursing home's most recent cost report submitted to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A nursing home is to file separate cost reports for each central or home office if the costs of the central or home office are reported on the nursing home's cost report. The bill provides that, on an annual basis, the Commissioner of Health is to prepare and submit a report containing the information received from nursing homes pursuant to bill's provisions to the Governor, the Legislature , and the State Comptroller, which report is to be published on the Internet website of the State Comptroller. The report is to: contain aggregate regional and county data, not name or identify any nursing home; and list amounts for each category of expenditure made by nursing homes. Finally, for the purposes of reporting requirements, the bill revises ownership interest thresholds from 10 percent interest or greater to any amount of ownership interest.
AI Summary
This bill requires nursing homes to submit their most recent cost report, which is a financial document detailing their expenses, to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of their annual financial reports to the Department of Health (DOH). If a nursing home has a central or home office that reports costs separately, those offices must also submit their cost reports. The Commissioner of Health will then compile this information into an annual report, which will be made public on the State Comptroller's website, showing aggregate regional and county spending data by category without identifying individual nursing homes. Additionally, the bill lowers the threshold for reporting ownership interests in nursing homes from a 10% or greater stake to any amount of ownership interest.
