MEDICAID-NURSING HOMES-RATES

Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. In provisions concerning elements of the Medicaid payment rate for nursing homes, provides that a nursing home may at any time submit information to the Department of Public Aid to supplement the facility's most recent cost report to document its increased allowable costs of providing services resulting from capital improvements made by the facility that have not been considered in the payment rates in effect for that facility for the current fiscal year. Requires prompt verification by the Department and prompt adjustment of the facility's payment rates. Makes implementation subject to appropriations. Effective immediately.
