§ 901. Reimbursement objectives
Reimbursement rates for nursing homes shall reflect the following objectives:
(1) Maintain an equitable and fair balance between cost containment and quality care in nursing homes.
(2) Encourage nursing homes to admit persons without regard to their source of payment.
(3) Provide an incentive to nursing homes to admit and provide care to persons in need of comparatively greater care.
(4) Be manageable administratively for both the state and nursing homes.
(5) Prevent unnecessary cost increases. (Added 1989, No. 267 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. July 1, 1991; amended 1995, No. 160 (Adj. Sess.), § 10.)
