Short description: 
MEDICAID-NURSING HOMES-RATES                                               

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Public  Aid  Code.   Provides  that  Medicaid      
   rates  for nursing homes shall be based on the most recent operational      
   cost report for a facility filed with the  Department  of  Public  Aid      
   (instead  of  the  facility  cost reports for the facility fiscal year      
   ending at any point in time during the previous calendar year, updated      
   to the midpoint of the rate year).  Effective immediately.                  
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Restores provision (stricken by the bill) for basing nursing home      
   rates on cost reports "updated to the midpoint of the rate year".           
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Public Aid)                       
          The Department projects that the fiscal impact is minimal.           
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Replaces  everything  after  the  enacting  clause.  Amends   the      
   Illinois  Public  Aid  Code.   In  provisions concerning rates paid to      
   nursing homes under the  Medicaid  program,  provides  for  new  rates      
   taking effect on July 1, 2001.  Provides for a new payment methodology      
   for  the  nursing  component of the rate effective January 1, 2002 and      
   for a phasing-in of rates based on the new payment  methodology.   For      
   rates effective July 1, 2001 and thereafter, provides for an inflation      
   update   to  January  1  of  the  current  calendar  year.   Effective      
   immediately.
