A staff member at another association recently pointed out that one of their members had experienced a change in their Provider Assessment as a result of a decrease in their Medicaid days. Upon further investigation they determined that the delay in Medicaid approval for residents led to this. The residents were reported as private pay in the Medicaid Cost Report because they were not approved yet.

This was discussed with KDADS personnel. They indicated that if facilities feel that the Medicaid Pending issues affected their Cost Report they should file an amended Cost Report. This would assure that your Provider Assessment, Medicaid Rate, and Incentives are based on the most accurate information.
