Massachusetts H1381 amends the General Laws to stabilize nursing facilities by adjusting Medicaid rates. It mandates an upward adjustment of at least 5% for facilities serving a high number of Medicaid residents, provided these residents account for 75% or more of all resident care days. The bill also sets the Nursing Cost Per Diem at the statewide average plus 10% and requires annual recognition of inflationary costs using the Skilled Nursing Facility Market Basket Update.
