(D) The costs of ownership per diem payment rate for an ICF/IID in peer group 3 shall not exceed the amount that is used for the purpose of division (C)(1)(a) of this section and is in effect on July 1, 2014. That rate shall be increased each fiscal year that begins after the effective date of this section in accordance with division (G) of this section.
(E)
(1) Beginning January 1, 1981, regardless of the original date of licensure, the payment rate for the per diem capitalized costs of nonextensive renovations made after January 1, l981, to a qualifying ICF/IID, shall not exceed six dollars per medicaid day using 1980 as the base year and adjusting the amount annually until June 30, 1993, for fluctuations in construction costs calculated by the department using the "Dodge building cost indexes, northeastern and north central states," published by Marshall and Swift. The payment rate shall be further adjusted in accordance with division (G) of this section. The payment provided for in this division is the only payment that shall be made for an ICF/IID's capitalized costs of nonextensive renovations. Costs of nonextensive renovations shall not be included in costs of ownership and shall not affect the date of licensure for purposes of division (B) or (C) of this section. This division applies to nonextensive renovations regardless of whether they are made by an owner or a lessee. If the tenancy of a lessee that has made nonextensive renovations ends before the depreciation expense for the costs of nonextensive renovations has been fully reported, the former lessee shall not report the undepreciated balance as an expense.
(2) An ICF/IID qualifies for a payment for costs of nonextensive renovations if all of the following apply:
(a) Either of the following applies:
(i) The ICF/IID is in peer group 1 and either the department approved the nonextensive renovation before July 1, 2013, or the nonextensive renovation is part of a project that results in the ICF/IID becoming a downsized ICF/IID or partially converted ICF/IID.
(ii) The ICF/IID is in peer group 2 or peer group 3.
(b) At least five years have elapsed since the ICF/IID's date of licensure or date of an extensive renovation of the portion of the ICF/IID that is proposed to be nonextensively renovated, unless the nonextensive renovation is necessary to meet the requirements of federal, state, or local statutes, ordinances, rules, or policies.
(c) The provider of the ICF/IID does both of the following:
(i) Submits to the department a plan that describes in detail the changes in capital assets to be accomplished by means of the nonextensive renovation and the timetable for completing the project, which shall be not more than eighteen months after the nonextensive renovation begins;
(ii) Obtains prior approval from the department for the nonextensive renovation.
(3) The director of developmental disabilities shall adopt rules under section 5124.03 of the Revised Code that specify criteria and procedures for prior approval of nonextensive renovation and extensive renovation projects. No provider shall separate a project with the intent to evade the characterization of the project as a nonextensive renovation or as an extensive renovation. No provider shall increase the scope of a project after it is approved by the department unless the increase in scope is approved by the department.
(F)
(1) Subject to division (F)(2) of this section, an ICF/IID's per medicaid day efficiency incentive payment rate shall equal the following percentage of the difference between the ICF/IID's desk-reviewed, actual, allowable per diem costs of ownership and the applicable limit on costs of ownership payment rates established by division (B) of this section:
(a) In the case of an ICF/IID in peer group 1, the following percentage:
(i)
Fifty per cent if the provider of the ICF/IID obtains the department's approval to become a downsized ICF/IID and the approval is conditioned on the downsizing being completed not later than July 1, 2018;
(ii) Twenty-five per cent if division (F)(1)(a)(i) of this section does not apply;
(b) In the case of an ICF/IID in peer group 2 or peer group 3, fifty per cent.
(2) The efficiency incentive payment rate for an ICF/IID in peer group 2 or peer group 3 shall not exceed three dollars per medicaid day, adjusted annually in accordance with division (G) of this section. For the purpose of determining an ICF/IID's efficiency incentive payment rate, both of the following apply:
(a) Depreciation for costs paid or reimbursed by any government agency shall be considered as a cost of ownership;
(b) The applicable limit under division (B) of this section shall apply to all ICFs/IID regardless of which peer group they are in.
(G) The amounts specified in divisions (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) of this section shall be adjusted beginning on the first day of each fiscal year for the estimated inflation rate for the twelve-month period beginning on the first day of July of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year that immediately precedes the fiscal year for which rate will be paid and ending on the thirtieth day of the following June, using the consumer price index for shelter costs for all urban consumers for the midwest region, as published by the United States bureau of labor statistics.
(H) Notwithstanding divisions (C) and (E) of this section, the total payment rate for costs of ownership, capitalized costs of nonextensive renovations, and the efficiency incentive for an ICF/IID in peer group 2 shall not exceed the sum of the limitations specified in divisions (C) and (E) of this section. Notwithstanding divisions (D) and (E) of this section, the total payment rate for costs of ownership, capitalized costs of nonextensive renovations, and the efficiency incentive for an ICF/IID in peer group 3 shall not exceed the sum of the limitations specified in divisions (D) and (E) of this section.
(I)
(1) For the purpose of determining ICFs/IID's medicaid payment rates for capital costs:
(a) Buildings shall be depreciated using the straight line method over forty years or over a different period approved by the department.
(b) Components and equipment shall be depreciated using the straight line method over a period designated by the director of developmental disabilities in rules adopted under section 5124.03 of the Revised Code, consistent with the guidelines of the American hospital association, or over a different period approved by the department.
(2) Any rules authorized by division (I)(1) of this section that specify useful lives of buildings, components, or equipment apply only to assets acquired on or after July 1, 1993. Depreciation for costs paid or reimbursed by any government agency shall not be included in costs of ownership or costs of nonextensive renovations unless that part of the payment under this chapter is used to reimburse the government agency.
(J)
(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, if a provider leases or transfers an interest in an ICF/IID to another provider who is a related party, the related party's allowable costs of ownership shall include the lesser of the following:
(a) The annual lease expense or actual cost of ownership, whichever is applicable;
(b) The reasonable cost to the lessor or provider making the transfer.
(2) If a provider leases or transfers an interest in an ICF/IID to another provider who is a related party, regardless of the date of the lease or transfer, the related party's allowable cost of ownership shall include the annual lease expense or actual cost of ownership, whichever is applicable, subject to the limitations specified in divisions (B) to (I) of this section, if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) The related party is a relative of owner;
(b) In the case of a lease, if the lessor retains any ownership interest, it is, except as provided in division (J)(2)(d)(ii) of this section, in only the real property and any improvements on the real property;
(c) In the case of a transfer, the provider making the transfer retains, except as provided in division (J)(2)(d)(iv) of this section, no ownership interest in the ICF/IID;
(d) The department determines that the lease or transfer is an arm's length transaction pursuant to rules adopted under section 5124.03 of the Revised Code. The rules shall provide that a lease or transfer is an arm's length transaction if all of the following, as applicable, apply:
(i) In the case of a lease, once the lease goes into effect, the lessor has no direct or indirect interest in the lessee or, except as provided in division (J)(2)(b) of this section, the ICF/IID itself, including interest as an owner, officer, director, employee, independent contractor, or consultant, but excluding interest as a lessor.
(ii) In the case of a lease, the lessor does not reacquire an interest in the ICF/IID except through the exercise of a lessor's rights in the event of a default. If the lessor reacquires an interest in the ICF/IID in this manner, the department shall treat the ICF/IID as if the lease never occurred when the department determines its payment rate for capital costs.
(iii) In the case of a transfer, once the transfer goes into effect, the provider that made the transfer has no direct or indirect interest in the provider that acquires the ICF/IID or the ICF/IID itself, including interest as an owner, officer, director, employee, independent contractor, or consultant, but excluding interest as a creditor.
(iv) In the case of a transfer, the provider that made the transfer does not reacquire an interest in the ICF/IID except through the exercise of a creditor's rights in the event of a default. If the provider reacquires an interest in the ICF/IID in this manner, the department shall treat the ICF/IID as if the transfer never occurred when the department determines its payment rate for capital costs.
(v) The lease or transfer satisfies any other criteria specified in the rules.
(e) Except in the case of hardship caused by a catastrophic event, as determined by the department, or in the case of a lessor or provider making the transfer who is at least sixty-five years of age, not less than twenty years have elapsed since, for the same ICF/IID, allowable cost of ownership was determined most recently under this division.
