Nursing Homes: Please Submit Capital Attestations by Dec. 6th
Nursing homes have until Dec. 6th to review their initial draft 2024 Medicaid capital reimbursement calculation. The draft rate sheets are posted on the Healthcare Financial Data Gateway section of the Health Commerce System (HCS). All homes need to submit an attestation indicating that they either agree with the Department of Health (DOH) calculation or are requesting a correction. Correction requests need to be accompanied by a completed Capital Attestation Workbook and supporting documentation. The Attestation Form is here, and the associated Dear Administrator Letter (DAL) is here. More information and links to other resources helpful in the process are available here.
We also remind members who may have questions or concerns regarding their draft 2022 Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI) draft results to pose them to the Department by Dec. 8th by emailing nhqp@health.ny.gov. The score sheets are posted on the HCS in the same place as Medicaid rate sheets, and the DAL which includes a guide for interpreting the results can be accessed here. After the review process is complete, DOH will finalize the scores, assign overall quintiles, and make payment adjustments.
