    56-117.  PAYMENT OF SPECIAL RATES. The director shall have authority to
pay facilities at special rates for care given to patients who have long-term
care needs not adequately reflected in the rates calculated pursuant to the
principles set forth in section 56-102, Idaho Code. The payment for such
specialized care will be in addition to any payments made in accordance with
other provisions of this chapter. The incremental cost to a facility that
exceeds the rate for services provided pursuant to the provisions of section
56-102, Idaho Code, will be excluded from the computation of payments or rates
under other provisions of this chapter. Until the facility applies for a
special rate, patients with such needs will be included in the computation of
the facility's rates following the principles described in section 56-102,
Idaho Code.
