2006 Ohio Revised Code - [5111.25.5] 5111.255.Initial rates for facilities licensed on or after 1-1-93; relocated or replaced beds at existing facility.

[§ 5111.25.5] § 5111.255. Initial rates for facilities licensed on or after 1-1-93; relocated or replaced beds at existing facility.
 

(A)  The department of job and family services shall establish initial rates for an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded with a first date of licensure that is on or after January 1, 1993, including a facility that replaces one or more existing facilities, or for an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded with a first date of licensure before that date that was initially certified for the medicaid program on or after that date, in the following manner: 

(1) The rate for direct care costs shall be determined as follows: 

(a) If there are no cost or resident assessment data as necessary to calculate a rate under section 5111.23 of the Revised Code, the rate shall be the median cost per case-mix unit calculated under division (B)(1) of that section for the relevant peer group for the calendar year preceding the fiscal year in which the rate will be paid, multiplied by the median annual average case-mix score for the peer group for that period and by the rate of inflation estimated under division (B)(3) of that section. This rate shall be recalculated to reflect the facility's actual quarterly average case-mix score, in accordance with that section, after it submits its first quarterly assessment data that qualifies for use in calculating a case-mix score in accordance with rules authorized by division (E) of section 5111.232 [5111.23.2] of the Revised Code. If the facility's first two quarterly submissions do not contain assessment data that qualifies for use in calculating a case-mix score, the department shall continue to calculate the rate using the median annual case-mix score for the peer group in lieu of an assigned quarterly case-mix score. The department shall assign a case-mix score or, if necessary, a cost per case-mix unit under division (D) of section 5111.232 [5111.23.2] of the Revised Code for any subsequent submissions that do not contain assessment data that qualifies for use in calculating a case-mix score. 

(b) If the facility is a replacement facility and the facility or facilities that are being replaced are in operation immediately before the replacement facility opens, the rate shall be the same as the rate for the replaced facility or facilities, proportionate to the number of beds in each replaced facility. If one or more of the replaced facilities is not in operation immediately before the replacement facility opens, its proportion shall be determined under division (A)(1)(a) of this section. 

(2) The rate for other protected costs shall be one hundred fifteen per cent of the median rate for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded calculated for the fiscal year under section 5111.235 [5111.23.5] of the Revised Code. 

(3) The rate for indirect care costs shall be the applicable maximum rate for the facility's peer group as specified in division (B) of section 5111.241 [5111.24.1] of the Revised Code. 

(4) The rate for capital costs shall be determined under section 5111.251 [5111.25.1] of the Revised Code using the greater of actual inpatient days or an imputed occupancy rate of eighty per cent. 

(B)  The department shall adjust the rates established under division (A) of this section at both of the following times: 

(1) Effective the first day of July, to reflect new rate calculations for all facilities under sections 5111.20 to 5111.33 of the Revised Code; 

(2) Following the provider's submission of the facility's cost report under division (A)(1)(b) of section 5111.26 of the Revised Code. 

The department shall pay the rate adjusted based on the cost report beginning the first day of the calendar quarter that begins more than ninety days after the department receives the cost report.
