WAC 388-96-725. RCW 74.46.421 rate reduction—A nursing facility's rates

(1) The department will not reverse any rate reductions taken in accordance with RCW 74.46.421 . (2) If after a reduction a nursing facility is eligible to receive an increase in a component rate for some unrelated change (e.g., a change in the medicaid case mix index causes the direct care rate to increase), the department will apply the increase to the rate reduced by application of RCW 74.46.421 . (3) Reductions made under RCW 74.46.421 are cumulative. The department will reduce the component rates for all nursing facilities without reversing any previous reductions.
