Title: Medicare program; optional payment system for low Medicare volume skilled nursing facilities--HCFA. Final rule. Journal: Fed Regist; 1995 Jul 21; 60(140):37590-6. PubMed ID: 10144393. Abstract: This final rule allows skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) that provide fewer than 1,500 days of care to Medicare beneficiaries in a cost reporting period to have the option of receiving prospectively determined payment rates in the following cost reporting period. The prospectively determined payment rates are based on components of SNF costs such as routine operating costs, capital-related costs, and a return on equity for proprietary facilities for routine services furnished before October 1, 1993. This rule also specifies that the return on equity provision for proprietary SNFs is eliminated for services furnished on or after October 1, 1993.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
