[Provider] Adoption of Rule for Chapter III, Section 50, ICF-MR Services

[Provider Notification]

ATTENTION: All Providers of Services under Section 50, ICF-MR

 

Concise Summary:

The federal Tax Relief and Health Care Act, P.L. 109-432, Section 403,
modified the maximum allowable level for health care provider taxes that
may be applied in Medicaid from 6 percent to 5.5 percent.  This rule
revises and updates one section of ICF-MR policy in order to comply with
that law.  ICFs-MR subject to the Health Care Provider Tax defined in
State law 36 M.R.S.A., Chapter 373, will have the tax treated as an
allowable fixed cost.  The proposed rule does not impose an economic
burden on small business, municipalities or counties.
