Massachusetts H1244 aims to stabilize nursing facility costs by adjusting Medicaid rates.

Massachusetts H1244 seeks to stabilize nursing facility costs by adjusting Medicaid rates. It mandates the executive office of health and human services to set rates at no less than the capital payment using a specific calculation methodology. The bill also requires the use of recent labor and resident care costs for rate determinations and adjusts nursing labor costs for resident care. Facilities serving a high number of Medicaid residents receive an additional rate adjustment.
