Special Notice: Public Notice of Medicaid State Plan Changes Concerning Quality Improvement Incentive
The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) is submitting changes to the Medicaid State Plan through Attachment 4.19-D, SPA 10-013-UT Quality Improvement Incentive. These changes are necessary to continue quality incentive programs for nursing facilities in state fiscal year 2011. This amendment, therefore, updates the incentive period to be July 1, 2010, through May 31, 2011.
DMHF does not expect any increased costs to result from this amendment and the incentive does not affect overall payments to the nursing facility industry or to ICF/MR providers.
The proposed effective date of this amendment is July 1, 2010, and it is pending Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services approval.
A copy of the changes may be obtained from Craig Devashrayee (801-538-6641), or by writing the Technical Writing Unit, Utah Department of Health, P.O. Box 143102, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-3102. Comments are welcome at the same address. Copies of the changes are also available at local county health department offices.
