Sec. 450.1. Applicability and relationship to reimbursement

(a) This Article is applicable to all residential health care facilities except those that are hospital-based, unless said residential health care facility was organized under article 28-A of the Public Health Law, in which case this Article applies regardless of whether or not such facility is hospital-based.

(b) This Article has been designed so that a uniform report for financial disclosure could be developed. This Article has not been designed to conform to or reflect reimbursement regulations, since they have and will continue to change. It is anticipated that an omnibus annual Medicaid cost report will reflect both the uniform reporting concepts and reimbursement regulations.
