§3187. Principles of reimbursement; rules

The department shall meet annually with providers of community-based intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded to review current principles of reimbursement under the federal Social Security Act, Title XIX, 42 United States Code, Chapter 7, and discuss necessary and appropriate changes. [2003, c. 684, §1 (AMD).]

Principles of reimbursement established for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded must ensure maximum flexibility enabling facilities to shift variable cost funds within accounts established pursuant to the principles. These principles may not set any artificial limits on specific variable cost accounts as long as facility totals are met. [2003, c. 684, §1 (AMD).]

Rules regarding principles of reimbursement for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded adopted pursuant to section 3173 are major substantive rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A. [2003, c. 684, §1 (NEW).]
