|
305 ILCS 5/5-5.01a |
| 305 ILCS 5/5-5e | |
|
Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Removes language providing that Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities effective on July 1, 2018 must be equal to the rates in effect for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2018. Provides that the Medicaid rates for supportive living services on and
after July 1, 2019 must be equal to 60% of the average total
nursing facility services per diem for the geographic areas
defined by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services. Provides that for supportive living facilities
specializing in dementia care, the rate must be 72% instead
of 60%. Requires the Medicaid rates for supportive living services to
be updated whenever the total nursing facility service per
diems are updated. Requires the Department to delink the per diem rate paid for supportive living
facility services from the per diem rate paid for nursing
facility services, effective for services provided on or
after May 1, 2011 through June 30, 2019 (rather than effective for services provided on or
after May 1, 2011). Effective immediately.

|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning public aid.
| 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 Sections 5-5.01a and 5-5e as follows:
| 6 | | (305 ILCS 5/5-5.01a)
| 7 | | Sec. 5-5.01a. Supportive living facilities program. | 8 | | (a) The
Department shall establish and provide oversight | 9 | | for a program of supportive living facilities that seek to | 10 | | promote
resident independence, dignity, respect, and | 11 | | well-being in the most
cost-effective manner.
| 12 | | A supportive living facility is (i) a free-standing | 13 | | facility or (ii) a distinct
physical and operational entity | 14 | | within a mixed-use building that meets the criteria established | 15 | | in subsection (d). A supportive
living facility integrates | 16 | | housing with health, personal care, and supportive
services and | 17 | | is a designated setting that offers residents their own
| 18 | | separate, private, and distinct living units.
| 19 | | Sites for the operation of the program
shall be selected by | 20 | | the Department based upon criteria
that may include the need | 21 | | for services in a geographic area, the
availability of funding, | 22 | | and the site's ability to meet the standards.
| 23 | | (b) Beginning July 1, 2014, subject to federal approval, |
| | | HB2637 | - 2 - | LRB101 11107 KTG 56324 b |
|
| 1 | | the Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities shall be | 2 | | equal to the supportive living facility Medicaid rate effective | 3 | | on June 30, 2014 increased by 8.85%.
Once the assessment | 4 | | imposed at Article V-G of this Code is determined to be a | 5 | | permissible tax under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, the | 6 | | Department shall increase the Medicaid rates for supportive | 7 | | living facilities effective on July 1, 2014 by 9.09%. The | 8 | | Department shall apply this increase retroactively to coincide | 9 | | with the imposition of the assessment in Article V-G of this | 10 | | Code in accordance with the approval for federal financial | 11 | | participation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid | 12 | | Services. | 13 | | The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities | 14 | | effective on July 1, 2017 must be equal to the rates in effect | 15 | | for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2017 increased by | 16 | | 2.8%. | 17 | | The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities | 18 | | effective on July 1, 2018 must be equal to the rates in effect | 19 | | for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2018. | 20 | | The Medicaid rates for supportive living services on and | 21 | | after July 1, 2019 must be equal to 60% of the average total | 22 | | nursing facility services per diem for the geographic areas | 23 | | defined by the Department. For supportive living facilities | 24 | | specializing in dementia care, the rate must be 72% instead of | 25 | | 60%. The Medicaid rates for supportive living services must be | 26 | | updated whenever the total nursing facility service per diems |
| | | HB2637 | - 3 - | LRB101 11107 KTG 56324 b |
|
| 1 | | are updated. | 2 | | (c) The Department may adopt rules to implement this | 3 | | Section. Rules that
establish or modify the services, | 4 | | standards, and conditions for participation
in the program | 5 | | shall be adopted by the Department in consultation
with the | 6 | | Department on Aging, the Department of Rehabilitation | 7 | | Services, and
the Department of Mental Health and Developmental | 8 | | Disabilities (or their
successor agencies).
| 9 | | (d) Subject to federal approval by the Centers for Medicare | 10 | | and Medicaid Services, the Department shall accept for | 11 | | consideration of certification under the program any | 12 | | application for a site or building where distinct parts of the | 13 | | site or building are designated for purposes other than the | 14 | | provision of supportive living services, but only if: | 15 | | (1) those distinct parts of the site or building are | 16 | | not designated for the purpose of providing assisted living | 17 | | services as required under the Assisted Living and Shared | 18 | | Housing Act; | 19 | | (2) those distinct parts of the site or building are | 20 | | completely separate from the part of the building used for | 21 | | the provision of supportive living program services, | 22 | | including separate entrances; | 23 | | (3) those distinct parts of the site or building do not | 24 | | share any common spaces with the part of the building used | 25 | | for the provision of supportive living program services; | 26 | | and |
| | | HB2637 | - 4 - | LRB101 11107 KTG 56324 b |
|
| 1 | | (4) those distinct parts of the site or building do not | 2 | | share staffing with the part of the building used for the | 3 | | provision of supportive living program services. | 4 | | (e) Facilities or distinct parts of facilities which are | 5 | | selected as supportive
living facilities and are in good | 6 | | standing with the Department's rules are
exempt from the | 7 | | provisions of the Nursing Home Care Act and the Illinois Health
| 8 | | Facilities Planning Act.
