Audit of Selected States' Nursing Home Minimum Spending Requirements Related to Resident Care

Previous OIG work has highlighted the importance of understanding how Medicaid spending has an impact on the care provided to residents in nursing homes. Certain States have established their own nursing home minimum spending requirements related to resident care. We will perform an audit that provides CMS and other stakeholders (e.g., Congress and States) with information on how these States ensure that nursing home revenues are related to resident care expenditures. We will determine how the States have implemented nursing home minimum spending requirements related to resident care and identify challenges that the States and nursing homes have experienced in implementing and complying with those requirements.
