DOH has processed supplemental payments, Quality Pool adjustments, as well as 2009-2021 capital appeals, most of which will be reflected in Medicaid payments released on Dec. 23^rd.

Although the process has been delayed due to programming issues, DOH intends to provide similar timeframes as in prior years for nursing homes to review their 2022 capital preview rates once they are available.

We ask those nursing homes who have not yet participated in our brief financial survey to do so.

Lump sum payments are making their way through the approval process, while 70/40 and staffing level regulations are headed for publication.

Associated payment adjustments to be reflected in Medicaid checks released Nov. 3^rd and 10^th.

Nursing homes have an extension to respond to the newly updated survey, which impacts rates.

Nursing homes can access the breakout list of individual adjustment amounts that are combined on the Miscellaneous line of their 2021 Medicaid rate sheets. Payment adjustments reflecting July 2021 rates are expected in early November.

Annual upstate increases are now determined by DOB analyses; minimum wage in Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk counties to increase from $14 to $15; no change in NYC, which has reached $15.
