208.167. Nursing home services, amount paid, computation — restrictions waived when, procedure. — Payment for nursing home services made pursuant to section 208.152 to a provider of services shall not exceed the provider's per diem, as set by the department of social services, times eighty-five percent of the provider's licensed bed capacity; or the provider's actual count of certified bed capacity, whichever is less, except that payments shall continue to be made on behalf of any qualified recipient occupying a bed, on August 13, 1982.
The department or its designated division shall waive this restriction for providers in areas where the department determines that there is an inadequate number of Medicaid-certified beds available and shall waive the restriction in geographic areas where eligible medical assistance benefits recipients are disproportionately higher than those not eligible for medical assistance benefits; may waive the restriction for public institutions; and may waive the restriction in other special circumstances approved by the director, upon review of an appeal from an individual provider.
