PURPOSE: This amendment updates the rule to mirror the 2010 federal "Rosa's Law" ( Pub. L. 111-256 ), which removes the term "mentally retarded" from federal health policy and replaces it will the term "individual with intellectual disabilities." Additionally, this amendment updates the rule to mirror section 630.006, RSMo Supp. 2014, which replaced the term "mental retardation" with the more current terminology of "intellectual disability."
PURPOSE: This rule establishes the formula to determine the Federal Reimbursement Allowance for each Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) operated primarily for the care and treatment of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This rule applies to both private ICF/IIDs and ICF/IID facilities operated by the Department of Mental Health and requires these facilities to pay for the privilege of engaging in the business of providing ICF/IID services to individuals in Missouri.
(1) The following words and terms, as used in this rule, mean: (A) Base cost report. MO HealthNet cost report for the second prior fiscal year relative to the State Fiscal Year (SFY) for which the assessment is being calculated (For example, the SFY 2009 Federal Reimbursement Allowance (FRA) assessment will be determined using the Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) cost report from FY 2007.);(B) Department. Department of Mental Health;(C) Director. Director of the Department of Mental Health;(D) Division. Division of Developmental Disabilities, Department of Mental Health;(E) Engaging in the business of providing residential habilitation care. Accepting payment for ICF/IID services rendered;(F) Fiscal period. Twelve- (12-) month reporting period determined by the State Fiscal Year;(G) Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID). A private or department facility that admits individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities for residential habilitation and other services pursuant to Chapters 630 and 633, RSMo, and that has been certified to meet the conditions of participation under 42 CFR 483, Subpart I;(H) Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities Federal Reimbursement Allowance ICF/IID FRA. The assessment paid by each ICF/IID;(2) Each ICF/IID operated primarily for the care and treatment of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities engaging in the business of providing residential habilitation and other services in Missouri shall pay an ICF/IID FRA. The ICF/IID FRA shall be calculated by the department as follows:(A) Beginning on July 1, 2008, and each year thereafter, the ICF/IID FRA annual assessment shall be five and forty-nine hundredths percent (5.49%) of the ICF/IID's net revenues determined from the base cost report relative to the State Fiscal Year for which the assessment is being calculated. The cost report shall be trended forward from the second prior year to the current fiscal year by applying the SNF IPI trend factor for each year under the ICF/IID FRA calculation;(B) Beginning on October 1, 2011, and each year thereafter, the ICF/IID FRA annual assessment shall be five and ninety-five hundredths percent (5.95%) of the ICF/IID's net revenues determined from the base cost report relative to the State Fiscal Year for which the assessment is being calculated. The cost report shall be trended forward from the second prior year to the current fiscal year by applying the SNF IPI trend factor for each year under the ICF/IID FRA calculation;(C) The annual assessment shall be divided into twelve (12) equal amounts and collected over the number of months the assessment is effective. The assessment is made payable to the director of the Department of Revenue to be deposited in the state treasury in the ICF/IID FRA Fund;(D) If the assessment amount determined using the second prior year cost report trended forward for the same year is greater than the actual assessment maximum amount on the current year ICF/IID provider tax revenues in the aggregate, then the department will offset the tax collections for the next year by each provider's pro-rata share of the difference between the amount of the tax as determined in subsection (2)(A) of 9 CSR 10-31.030 and the actual SFY amount determined from the current year ICF/IID cost report;(E) If an ICF/IID does not have a base cost report, net revenues shall be estimated as follows: 1. Net revenues shall be determined by computation of the ICF/IID's projected annual patient days multiplied by its interim established per diem rate; and(F) The ICF/IID FRA assessment for ICF/IIDs that merge operation under one (1) MO HealthNet provider number shall be determined as follows:1. The previously determined ICF/IID FRA assessment for each ICF/IID shall be combined under the active MO HealthNet provider number for the remainder of the State Fiscal Year after the division receives official notification of the merger; and2. The ICF/IID FRA assessment for subsequent fiscal years shall be based on the combined data for both facilities.(3) The department shall prepare a notification schedule of the information from each ICF/IID's second prior year cost report and provide each ICF/IID with this schedule. (A) The schedule shall include: 4. Total number of licensed beds; 7. Total amount of the assessment for the State Fiscal Year for which the assessment is being calculated and monthly assessment amount due each month.(B) Each ICF/IID required to pay the ICF/IID FRA shall review this information, and if it is not correct, the ICF/IID must notify the department of such within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the notification schedule. If the ICF/IID fails to submit the corrected data within the fifteen- (15-) day time period, the ICF/IID shall be barred from submitting corrected data later to have its ICF/IID FRA assessment adjusted.(4) Payment of ICF/IID FRA Assessment.(A) Each ICF/IID may request that its ICF/IID FRA be offset against any MO HealthNet payment due. A statement authorizing the offset must be on file with the MO HealthNet Division before any offset may be made relative to the ICF/IID FRA. Any balance due after the offset shall be remitted by the ICF/IID to the department. The remittance shall be made payable to the director of the Department of Revenue. If the remittance is not received before the next MO HealthNet payment cycle, the MO HealthNet Division shall offset the balance due from that check.(B) If no offset has been authorized by the ICF/IID, the MO HealthNet Division will begin collecting the ICF/IID FRA on the first day of each month. The ICF/IID FRA shall be remitted by the ICF/IID facility to the MO HealthNet Division. The remittance shall be made payable to the director of the Department of Revenue and deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the ICF/IID FRA Fund.(C) If the ICF/IID is delinquent in the payment of its ICF/IID FRA assessment, the director of the Department of Social Services shall withhold and remit to the Department of Revenue an amount equal to the assessment from any payment made by the MO HealthNet Division to the ICF/IID provider.
