SECTION 8. (a) This SECTION supersedes 405 IAC 1-12-21(d).

(b) Any ICFs/MR that is licensed as a CRMNF will be paid at a rate of six hundred thirty-nine dollars and eighteen cents ($639.18) per resident day. This per diem rate is available only upon certification as a Medicaid ICF/MR and licensure by the division of disability and rehabilitative services. ICFs/MR that are licensed as CRMNFs will not receive a base rate nor be subject to the base rate reporting requirements at 405 IAC 1-12-5.

SECTION 9. (a) This SECTION supersedes 405 IAC 1-12-24.

(b) CRF/DD and ICF/MR facilities that are not operated by the state will be assessed an amount that is based on total annual facility revenue. In determining total annual revenue when the financial report period is other than three hundred sixty-five (365) days, the total revenue shall be annualized based on the number of days in the reporting period. The assessment percentage applied to total annual revenue shall be six percent (6%). In no event shall the assessment percentage exceed the percentage determined to be eligible for federal financial participation under federal law.

(c) The assessment on provider total annual revenue authorized by IC 12-15-32-11 shall be an allowable cost for cost reporting and audit purposes. Total annual revenue is determined as follows:
(1) for an annual rate review, from the provider's previous annual financial reporting period as set out in 405 IAC 1-12-4(a);
(2) for a base rate review, from the provider's previous base financial reporting period as set out in 405 IAC 1-12-5(c); or
(3) for an initial interim rate review for a new provider that is not the result of a change of ownership, the fiftieth percentile provider's assessment for a like level of care shall be used as determined in 405 IAC 1-12-5(a). The fiftieth percentile provider's assessment is divided by their resident days to determine the assessment per resident day amount. The assessment per resident day amount is then multiplied by the annualized bed days available to determine the new provider's annualized assessment.
Providers will submit data to calculate the amount of provider assessment with their annual and base rate reviews as set out in 405 IAC 1-12-4(a) and 405 IAC 1-12-5(c) of this rule, using forms or in a format prescribed by the office. These forms are subject to audit by the office or its designee.

(d) If federal financial participation to match the assessment becomes unavailable under federal law after the implementation date, the authority to impose the assessment terminates on the date that the federal statutory, regulatory, or interpretive change takes place, and such termination will apply prospectively. In addition, prospective termination of the assessment as described in this subsection will result in the simultaneous termination of the assessment being considered as an allowable cost for rate setting purposes.

(e) For an ICFs/MR that is licensed as a CRMNF, the total annual revenue on which the assessment is based shall be determined as follows:
(1) For the initial interim rate review, available bed days times the projected occupancy rate of sixty-nine percent (69%) times the approved Medicaid rate issued to the provider.
(2) For annual rate reviews from the provider's previous annual financial reporting period as set out in 405 IAC 1-12-4(a).

SECTION 10. (a) This SECTION supersedes 405 IAC 1-12-25.

(b) For ICF/MR and CRF/DD facilities the all-inclusive per diem rate shall include reimbursement for all day habilitation services. Costs associated with day habilitation services shall be reported to the office on the annual or historical financial report form using forms prescribed by the office. Allowable day habilitation costs shall be included in determining a provider's allowable costs for rate setting purposes in accordance with all sections of this rule.

SECTION 11. SECTIONS 1 through 10 of this document expire June 30, 2013.
