(A) The total per medicaid day payment rate determined under section 5165.15 of the Revised Code shall not be the initial rate for nursing facility services provided by a new nursing facility. Instead, the initial total per medicaid day payment rate for nursing facility services provided by a new nursing facility shall be determined in the following manner:
(1) The initial rate for ancillary and support costs shall be the rate for the new nursing facility's peer group determined under division (D) of section 5165.16 of the Revised Code.
(2) The initial rate for capital costs shall be the rate for the new nursing facility's peer group determined under division (D) of section 5165.17 of the Revised Code;
(3) The initial rate for direct care costs shall be the product of the cost per case-mix unit determined under division (D) of section 5165.19 of the Revised Code for the new nursing facility's peer group and the new nursing facility's case-mix score determined under division (B) of this section.
(4) The initial rate for tax costs shall be the median rate for tax costs for the new nursing facility's peer group in which the nursing facility is placed under division (C) of section 5165.16 of the Revised Code.
(5) The quality payment shall be the mean quality payment rate determined for nursing facilities under section 5165.25 of the Revised Code.
(6) Fourteen dollars and sixty-five cents shall be added to the sum of the rates and payment specified in divisions (A)(1) to (5) of this section.
(B) For the purpose of division (A)(3) of this section, a new nursing facility's case-mix score shall be the following:
(1) Unless the new nursing facility replaces an existing nursing facility that participated in the medicaid program immediately before the new nursing facility begins participating in the medicaid program, the median annual average case-mix score for the new nursing facility's peer group;
(2) If the nursing facility replaces an existing nursing facility that participated in the medicaid program immediately before the new nursing facility begins participating in the medicaid program, the semiannual case-mix score most recently determined under section 5165.192 of the Revised Code for the replaced nursing facility as adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any difference in the number of beds in the replaced and new nursing facilities.
(C) Subject to division (D) of this section, the department shall adjust the rates established under division (A) of this section effective the first day of July, to reflect new rate calculations for all nursing facilities under this chapter.
(D) If a rate for direct care costs is determined under this section for a new nursing facility using the median annual average case-mix score for the new nursing facility's peer group, the rate shall be redetermined to reflect the new nursing facility's actual semiannual average case-mix score determined under section 5165.192 of the Revised Code after the new nursing facility submits its first two quarterly assessment data that qualify for use in calculating a case-mix score in accordance with rules authorized by section 5165.192 of the Revised Code. If the new nursing facility's quarterly submissions do not qualify for use in calculating a case-mix score, the department shall continue to use the median annual average case-mix score for the new nursing facility's peer group in lieu of the new nursing facility's semiannual case-mix score until the new nursing facility submits two consecutive quarterly assessment data that qualify for use in calculating a case-mix score.
