Special Notice: Medicaid Nursing Facility Evacuation Payments
The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) is submitting changes to the Medicaid State Plan through Attachment 4.19-D, SPA 12-011-UT Nursing Facility Evacuation Payments. These changes are necessary to add wording to facilitate payments to nursing facilities during declared disasters. This amendment, therefore, adds wording that defines how payments to facilities will be administered and what payment limits will be in place.
DMHF does not expect any increased costs to result from this amendment and the amendment does not affect overall payments to the nursing facility industry providers.
The proposed effective date of this amendment is 08/02/2012, and it is pending Centers for Medicare and 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.
