What’s in it

AI summary The Department of Human Services will study whether they can pay hospitals for days when a patient is waiting to move to a nursing home or other care facility. This study focuses on patients who no longer need hospital care but cannot leave yet. After the study, officials will create a report for the governor and the legislature that includes different options and estimated costs.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of providing Medicaid reimbursement to hospitals for administrative days. Following its review, DHS shall work with relevant stakeholders to develop and submit a report including findings, options and criteria for reimbursement, and the estimated costs associated with providing such reimbursement to the governor and the general assembly by December 15, 2022. Under the bill, an “administrative day” means an inpatient stay day during which a Medicaid-eligible individual no longer meets medical necessity criteria for acute hospital care and is awaiting placement in a nursing facility or other subacute or post-acute care.
