We were therefore pleased that in the final rule, DHHS now agrees with our position and has restored the increase to 100% of what the Legislature approved. New rate letters will now be issued. Since this will be retroactive to 7/1/18, our understanding is that nursing facilities will have the option of rebilling for these funds, or waiting until time of settlement. Look for more information on this soon.
