Section 50-24.4-11 - Adjustment of historical operating costs1. The department may allow a one-time adjustment to historical operating costs of a nursing home that has been found by the department to be significantly below care-related minimum standards appropriate to the mix of resident needs in that nursing home when it is determined by the department that the nursing home is unable to meet minimum standards through reallocation of nursing home costs and efficiency incentives or allowances. In developing procedures to allow adjustments, the department shall specify the terms and conditions governing any additional payments made to a nursing home as a result of the adjustment. The department shall establish procedures to recover amounts paid under this section, in whole or in part, and to adjust current and future rates, for nursing homes that fail to use the adjustment to satisfy care-related minimum standards.2. If the department learns that unallowable expenditures have been included in the nursing home's historical operating costs, the department shall disallow the expenditures and recover the entire overpayment out of future payments otherwise due to the nursing home under chapter 50-24.1, or otherwise, as the department may determine.
