Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

OBJECTIVE

Improving safety, quality, and transparency of Medicaid nursing facility care is a top priority to ensure that seniors, people with disabilities, and others living in nursing homes receive reliable, high-quality care. States have broad flexibility when establishing Medicaid base and supplemental payments to provide adequate, performance-driven nursing facility rates. We will judgmentally select three facilities in selected States (one each from the following facility types: for-profit, not-for-profit, and governmental) to determine what percentage of Medicaid nursing facility revenue is being expended on direct patient care.
