Section 146.220 Resident Participation Requirements

a) The SLF may admit or retain residents whose needs can be met through the services described in Section 146.230. These persons would typically have a score between 29 and 47 on the Determination of Need (DON) and need assistance in one or more activities of daily living. These persons must meet the following criteria prior to admission to an SLF:

1) Be age 22 years or over with a disability (as determined by the Social Security Administration) or elderly (age 65 years or over); and

2) Be screened by the Department and found to be in need of nursing facility level of care and that SLF placement is appropriate to meet the needs of the individual. A new screen is not needed for a resident who is transferring between SLFs or comes from a nursing facility with no break in service. It is the admitting SLF's responsibility to ensure that a screening document is received from the transferring SLF or nursing facility. Private pay individuals may choose to be admitted into an SLF when the screening assessment does not justify nursing facility level of care; and

3) Be without a primary or secondary diagnosis of developmental disability or serious and persistent mental illness. (Developmental disability is defined as a disability which is attributable to mental retardation or a related condition.) The developmental disability or mental illness must be determined by a qualified Department of Human Services screening agent; and

4) Have name checked against the Illinois Sex Offender Registration website at www.isp.state.il.us and/or the Illinois Department of Corrections registered sex offender database at www.idoc.state.il.us. Refer to Section 146.215 for facility requirements if a person whose name appears on either registry is admitted to an SLF.

b) Private pay residents seeking to convert to Medicaid while residing in an SLF shall be screened by the Department using the DON prior to the point of conversion and must be found to be in need of nursing facility level of care before Medicaid payment may be authorized.

c) Each prospective resident shall have a tuberculin skin test in accordance with the Control of Tuberculosis Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code 696). The test must be completed no more than 90 days prior to the date of admission to the SLF or the test must be commenced no more than seven days after admission to the SLF.

d) A Medicaid resident of an SLF shall not participate in the Department on Aging's

Community Care Program or the Department of Human Services' Home Services Program.

Section 146.225 Reimbursement for Medicaid Residents

SLFs shall accept the reimbursement provided in this Section as payment in full for all services provided to Medicaid residents.

a) The Department shall establish its portion of the reimbursement for Medicaid residents by calculating 60 percent of the weighted average (weighted by Medicaid patient days) nursing facility rates for the geographic grouping as defined in Section 146.290. Each SLF shall be paid 60 percent of the weighted average nursing facility geographic group rate, based upon the nursing facility geographic group in which it is located. The rates paid to SLFs shall be reviewed annually, and adjusted, if necessary, on October 1 to assure that the rates coincide with 60 percent of weighted average nursing facility geographic group rates. Effective October 1, 2002, SLF rates shall remain at a minimum of the rate in effect as of September 30, 2002.

b) The payment rate received by the SLF from the Department for services, with the exception of meals, provided in accordance with Section 146.230 shall constitute the full and complete charge for services rendered. Additional payment, other than patient credits authorized by the Department, may not be accepted. Meals are included in the room and board amount paid by the resident.

c) Single Occupancy: Each Medicaid resident of an SLF shall be allotted a minimum of $90 per month as a deduction from his or her income as a protected amount for personal use. The SLF may charge each Medicaid resident no more than the current SSI rate for a single individual less a minimum of $90 for room and board charges. Any income remaining after deduction of the protected minimum of $90 and room and board charges shall be applied first towards medical expenses not covered under the Department's Medical Assistance Program. Any income remaining after that shall be applied to the charges for SLF services paid by the Department.

d) Double Occupancy: In the event a Medicaid eligible resident chooses to share an apartment, the Medicaid resident of an SLF shall be allotted a minimum of $90 per month as a deduction from his or her income as a protected amount for personal use. The SLF may charge each Medicaid resident no more than the resident's share of the current SSI rate for a couple less a minimum of $90 for room and board charges. The room and board rate for two Medicaid eligible individuals sharing an apartment cannot exceed the SSI rate for a married couple even if the two individuals sharing an apartment are unrelated. Any income of an individual remaining after deduction of the protected minimum of $90 and room and board charges shall be applied first towards that individual's medical expenses not covered under the Department's Medical Assistance Program. Any income of an individual remaining after that shall be applied to that individual's charges for SLF services paid by the Department. If one, or both, of the individuals sharing an apartment is not Medicaid eligible, the SLF may negotiate its own rate with the non-Medicaid individual or individuals.

e) The room and board charge for Medicaid residents shall only be increased when the SSI amount is increased. Any room and board charge increase shall not exceed the amount of the SSI increase.

f) Payment shall be made by the Department for up to 30 days per State fiscal year during a Medicaid resident's temporary absence from the SLF when the absence is due to situations such as hospitalizations or vacations. The resident shall continue to be responsible for room and board charges during any absence. Involuntary discharge criteria relating to temporary absence are found at Section 146.255(b) and (d)(7). Nursing facilities that have a distinct part certified as an SLF shall consider converted beds in the nursing facility's licensed capacity when calculating the 93 percent occupancy level for bed reserve payments pursuant to 89 Ill. Adm. Code 140.523.
