Pursuant to sec. 17-311 of the General Statutes, the committee on state payments, (hereinafter referred to as "committee") approved, effective August 17, 1976, a cost report form designated the "Annual Report of Long-term Care Facilities" (hereinafter referred to as "annual report"). Such report shall be used to provide the commissioner with detailed cost information concerning the services provided by each certified and licensed long-term care facility for persons aided or cared for by the state.
The required completed annual report must be received by the commissioner no later than December 31 of each year for the cost year ending September 30 of that year, if a facility wishes to receive payment for persons aided or cared for by the state. Such report shall include the original and one clear copy. All documents must bear the original signatures of the administrator, owner and independent public accountant.
Failure to submit the annual report in a complete and timely manner shall result in the commissioner not promulgating an individual cost-related rate for such facility for the next rate year beginning July 1. Instead, for such delinquent facilities, the commissioner may authorize a rate comparable to the lowest rate paid to a facility for the same level of care.
