|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by |
| 5 | | changing Section 5-5.1 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (305 ILCS 5/5-5.1) (from Ch. 23, par. 5-5.1)
|
| 7 | | Sec. 5-5.1. Grouping of Facilities. The Department of |
| 8 | | Healthcare and Family Services shall, for purposes of payment, |
| 9 | | provide for
groupings of nursing facilities. Factors to be |
| 10 | | considered
in grouping facilities may include, but are not |
| 11 | | limited to,
size, age, patient mix, percentage of Medicaid |
| 12 | | funded residents, or geographical area.
|
| 13 | | The groupings developed under this Section shall be
|
| 14 | | considered in determining reasonable cost reimbursement
|
| 15 | | formulas. However, this Section shall not preclude the
|
| 16 | | Department from recognizing and evaluating the cost of
capital |
| 17 | | on a facility-by-facility basis.
|
| 18 | | A resident of a nursing facility whose application for long |
| 19 | | term care benefits is awaiting final action shall be included |
| 20 | | in the calculation as a Medicaid funded resident. |
