Massachusetts H1218 aims to stabilize nursing facilities by adjusting Medicaid rates to account for inflationary costs.

Massachusetts H1218 seeks to stabilize nursing facilities by adjusting Medicaid rates to account for inflationary costs. The bill mandates the executive office of health and human services to use the annual unadjusted Skilled Nursing Facility Market Basket Update for rate adjustments. It also requires an upward adjustment of at least 5% for facilities where Medicaid residents make up 75% or more of resident care days.
