Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the Department of Health hereby gives public notice of the following:

The Department of Health proposes to amend the Title XIX (Medicaid) State Plan for long term care services related to temporary rate adjustments to residential health care facilities (RHCFs) providing inpatient services that are undergoing a closure, merger, consolidation, acquisition or restructuring themselves or other health care providers. These payments are currently authorized by current State statutory and regulatory provisions.

The temporary rate adjustment for Northeast Center for Special Care has been reviewed and approved for aggregate payment amounts totaling $20,640,320. The previously approved aggregate payment amounts for the periods April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2014 have been modified, and additional payments for the periods April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015 have been approved. Such aggregate payments include: $5,292,200 for the period April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013; $9,504,202 for the period April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014; $5,027,984 for the period April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015; and $815,934 for the period April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016.
