LAC 50:VII.32965. State-Owned and Operated Facilities

A. Medicaid payments to state-owned and operated intermediate care facilities for persons with developmental disabilities are based on the Medicare formula for determining the routine service cost limits as follows: 1. calculate each state-owned and operated ICF/IID’s per diem routine costs in a base year; 2. calculate 112 percent of the average per diem routine costs; and 3. inflate 112 percent of the per diem routine costs using the skilled nursing facility (SNF) market basket index of inflation. B. Each state-owned and operated facility’s capital and ancillary costs will be paid by Medicaid on a "pass-through" basis. C. The sum of the calculations for routine service costs and the capital and ancillary costs "pass-through" shall be the per diem rate for each state-owned and operated ICF/IID. The base year cost reports to be used for the initial calculations shall be the cost reports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.
