IM-7 1/23/02 INCREASE IN AVERAGE PRIVATE PAY
NURSING RATE FOR TRANSFER OF PROPERTY CASES
MANUAL REVISION #1


 
SUBJECT:
INCREASE IN AVERAGE PRIVATE PAY NURSING RATE FOR TRANSFER OF PROPERTY CASES

MANUAL REVISION #1
 
DISCUSSION:
The average private pay nursing care rate is increased from $2,513 to $2,584.  Use $2,584 to determine the number of months of ineligibility for vendor level services for applications taken on or after January 1, 2002.

We are not updating Chapter XI, Section IX to include all of the changes per IM-42 of 1994 regarding transfers of property.  IM-42 changed the look-back dates, removed the 30 month maximum on the length of ineligibility, and made other changes.  We remind staff to consult IM-42 when handling transfer of property issues.
 
NECESSARY ACTION:
  • Discuss this memorandum with appropriate staff.
  • Use $2,584 as the average private pay rate effective for applications taken on or after January 1, 2002.
  • Remove the obsolete page 20, and file the revised page.
