Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 21, May 23, 2024
Section 30-5-86c - New provider rates for community mental health centers
(a) Rates for the first 18 months of a new community mental health center shall be computed from projected costs. The first projection, based on 12-month projected cost data, shall apply to the first six months of operation. The second 12-month projection, based on six months' actual cost data, shall be filed within 60 days after the end of the sixth month. The projected rate shall remain in effect until a rate can be established from a cost report based on historical cost data for the last 12 months of the projection period. Failure to complete and submit the required cost report or other financial data shall result in that center's reimbursement rate being reduced to the lowest rate paid to a community mental health center.
(b) Each new provider shall file a cost report based on historical cost data for the 12-month period ending on the last day of the 18th month following licensure of the community mental health center. Retroactive adjustments of the payments made during the projection period shall be made at the end of the 18-month period after audit of the historical cost data. Settlement of an overpayment or underpayment shall be at the audited rate computed from the historical cost data reported in accordance with this paragraph, or at the highest fee charged to and paid by private patient resources within the catchment area, or at the range maximums established by the secretary, whichever is less.
(c) Rates for a new provider, subsequent to the projection period, shall be based on the historical cost data reported in accordance with subsection (b), adjusted by an inflation factor established by the secretary, to compute a rate comparable to the rates computed in K.A.R. 30-5-86b for existing providers. This rule and regulation shall expire on July 1, 1988.
