Revised Notice of Final Nursing Facility
Medicaid Rates for State Fiscal Year 2025;
Methodology for Calculating Rates,
and Rate Justications;
Response to Wrien Comments;
Notice of Intent to Amend the Medicaid State Plan
The Notice of Final Nursing Facility Medicaid Rate for
State Fiscal Year 2025 is being revised to include correct-
ed case mix index (CMI) data. The CMI data that was
used in the nal notice published June 13, 2024 did not
include updates to the January 1, 2024 Medicaid CMI
data. Those updates included payer source revisions
submied by providers to Myers and Stauer as well as
any assessment updates submied through the CMS sys-
tem during the preliminary listings review period. The
methodology used to calculate the Medicaid rates has
not been changed but for the sake of clarity it has been
repeated in this revised notice. The Medicaid rate list has
been updated to reect the corrected Medicaid CMI and

corresponding Medicaid rate for each facility. The justi-
cations statistics have also been updated to reect the
revised rates.
Under the Medicaid program, 42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.,
the State of Kansas pays nursing facilities, nursing facil-
ities for mental health, and hospital long-term care units
(hereafter collectively referred to as nursing facilities) a
daily rate for care provided to residents who are eligible
for Medicaid benets. The Secretary of Aging and Dis-
ability Services administers the nursing facility program,
which includes hospital long-term care units, and the
nursing facility for mental health program. The Secretary
acts on behalf of the Kansas Department of Health and
Environment Division of Health Care Finance (DHCF),
the single state Medicaid agency.
As required by 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(13), as amended by
Section 4711 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, P.L.
No. 105-33, 101 Stat. 251, 507-08 (August 5, 1997), the
Secretary of the Kansas Department for Aging and Dis-
ability Services (KDADS) is publishing the revised nal
Medicaid per diem rates for Medicaid-certied nurs-
ing facilities for State Fiscal Year 2025, the methodolo-
gy underlying the establishment of the nursing facility
rates, and the justications for those rates. KDADS and
DHCF are also providing notice of the state’s intent to
submit amendments to the Medicaid State Plan to the U.
S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on or before
September 30, 2024.
I. Methodology Used to Calculate Medicaid Per Diem
Rates for Nursing Facilities
In general, the state uses a prospective, cost-based, fa-
cility-specic rate-seing methodology to calculate nurs-
ing facility Medicaid per diem rates, including the rates
listed in this notice. The state’s rate-seing methodology
is contained primarily in the following described docu-
ments and authorities and in the exhibits, aachments,
regulations, or other authorities referenced in them:
A. The following portions of the Kansas Medicaid
State Plan maintained by DHCF are being revised:
1. Aachment 4.19D, Part I, Subpart C, Exhibit C-1,
inclusive
2. Medicaid Add-On
3. Rapid Response Stang Grant Adjustment
The text of the portions of the Medicaid State Plan
identied above in section IA.1, but not the documents,
authorities and the materials incorporated therein by
reference, is reprinted in this notice. The Medicaid
State Plan provisions set out in this notice appears in
the version which the state currently intends to submit
to CMS on or before September 30, 2024. The Medicaid
State Plan amendment that the state ultimately submits
to CMS may dier from the version contained in this
notice.
Copies of the documents and authorities containing
the state’s rate-seing methodology are available upon
wrien request. A request for copies will be treated as
a request for public records under the Kansas Open Re-
cords Act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq. The state may charge a
fee for copies, in accordance with Executive Order 18-05.

A.1 Aachment 4.19D, Part I, Subpart C, Exhibit C-1:
Methods and Standards for Establishing Payment
Rates for Nursing Facilities
Under the Medicaid program, the State of Kansas
pays nursing facilities (NF), nursing facilities for men-
tal health (NFMH), and hospital long-term care units
(hereafter collectively referred to as nursing facilities) a
daily rate for care provided to residents who are eligible
for Medicaid benets. The narrative explanation of the
nursing facility reimbursement formula is divided into
11 sections. The sections are: Cost Reports, Rate Deter-
mination, Quarterly Case Mix Index Calculation, Res-
ident Days, Ination Factors, Upper Payment Limits,
Quarterly Case Mix Rate Adjustment, Real and Personal
Property Fee, Incentive Factors, Rate Eective Date, and
Retroactive Rate Adjustments.
1. Cost Reports
The Nursing Facility Financial and Statistical Report
(MS2004) is the uniform cost report. It is included in
Kansas Administrative Regulation (K.A.R.) 129-10-17. It
organizes the commonly incurred business expenses of
providers into three reimbursable cost centers (operat-
ing, indirect health care, and direct health care). Own-
ership costs (i.e., mortgage interest, depreciation, lease,
and amortization of leasehold improvements) are report-
ed but reimbursed through the real and personal proper-
ty fee. There is a non-reimbursable/non-resident related
cost center so that total operating expenses can be recon-
ciled to the providers’ accounting records.
All cost reports are desk reviewed by agency auditors.
Adjustments are made, when necessary, to the reported
costs in arriving at the allowable historic costs for the rate
computations.
Calendar Year End Cost Reports
All providers that have operated a facility for 12 or
more months on December 31 shall le a calendar year
cost report. The requirements for ling the calendar year
cost report are found in K.A.R. 129-10-17.
When a non-arms length or related party change of
provider takes place or an owner of the real estate as-
sumes the operations from a lessee, the facility will be
treated as an ongoing operation. In this situation, the re-
lated provider or owner shall be required to le the cal-
endar year end cost report. The new operator or owner
is responsible for obtaining the cost report information
from the prior operator for the months during the cal-
endar year in which the new operator was not involved
in running the facility. The cost report information from
the old and new operators shall be combined to prepare
a 12-month calendar year end cost report.
Projected Cost Reports
The ling of projected cost reports are limited to: 1)
newly constructed facilities; 2) existing facilities new to
the Medicaid program; or 3) a provider re-entering the
Medicaid program that has not actively participated or
(continued)
954

Notices
billed services for 24 months or more. The requirements
are found in K.A.R. 129-10-17.
2. Rate Determination
Rates for Existing Nursing Facilities
Medicaid rates for Kansas NFs are determined using a
prospective, facility-specic rate-seing system. The rate
is determined from the base cost data submied by the
provider. The current base cost data is the combined cal-
endar year cost data from each available report submit-
ted by the current provider during 2021, 2022, and 2023.
If the current provider has not submied a calendar year
report during the base cost data period, the cost data sub-
mied by the previous provider for that same period will
be used as the base cost data. Once the provider completes
their rst 24 months in the program, their rst calendar
year cost report will become the provider’s base cost data.
The allowable expenses are divided into three cost cen-
ters. The cost centers are Operating, Indirect Health Care
and Direct Health Care. They are dened in K.A.R. 129-
10-18.
The allowable historic per diem cost is determined by
dividing the allowable resident related expenses in each
cost center by resident days. Before determining the per
diem cost, each year’s cost data is adjusted from the mid-
point of that year to December 31, 2024. The resident days
and ination factors used in the rate determination will
be explained in greater detail in the following sections.
The inated allowable historic per diem cost for each
cost center is then compared to the cost center upper pay-
ment limit. The allowable per diem rate is the lesser of
the inated allowable historic per diem cost in each cost
center or the cost center upper payment limit. Each cost
center has a separate upper payment limit. If each cost
center upper payment limit is exceeded, the allowable
per diem rate is the sum of the three cost center upper
payment limits. There is also a separate upper payment
limit for owner, related party, administrator, and co-ad-
ministrator compensation. The upper payment limits
will be explained in more detail in a separate section.
The case mix of the residents adjusts the Direct Health
Care cost center. The reasoning behind a case mix pay-
ment system is that the characteristics of the residents in
a facility should be considered in determining the pay-
ment rate. The idea is that certain resident characteristics
can be used to predict future costs to care for residents
with those same characteristics. For these reasons, it is
desirable to use the case mix classication for each facili-
ty in adjusting provider rates.
There are add-ons to the allowable per diem rate. The
add-ons consist of the incentive factor, the real and per-
sonal property fee, and per diems to cover costs not in-
cluded in the cost report data. The incentive factor and
real and personal property fee are explained in separate
sections of this exhibit. The rate components are ex-
plained in separate subparts of Aachment 4.19D of the
State Plan. The add-ons plus the allowable per diem rate
equal the total per diem rate.
Rates for New Construction and New Facilities
(New Enrollment Status)
The per diem rate for newly constructed nursing facil-
ities, or new facilities to the Kansas Medical Assistance
program shall be based on a projected cost report sub-
mied in accordance with K.A.R. 129-10-17.
The cost information from the projected cost report and
the rst historic cost report covering the projected cost re-
port period shall be adjusted to December 31, 2024. This
adjustment will be based on the S&P Global Insight, Na-
tional Skilled Nursing Facility Market Basket Without
Capital Index (S&P Index). The S&P indices listed in the
latest available quarterly publication will be used to adjust
the reported cost data from the midpoint of the cost report
period to December 31, 2024. The provider shall remain
in new enrollment status until the base data period is re-
established. During this time, the adjusted cost data shall
be used to determine all rates for the provider. Any ad-
ditional factor for ination that is applied to cost data for
established providers shall be applied to the adjusted cost
data for each provider in new enrollment status.
Rates for Facilities Recognized as a Change of Provider
(Change of Provider Status)
The payment rate for the rst 24 months of operation
shall be based on the base cost data of the previous own-
er or provider. This base cost data shall include data from
each calendar year cost report that was led by the pre-
vious provider from 2021-2023. If base cost data is not
available, the most recent calendar year data for the pre-
vious provider shall be used. Beginning with the rst day
of the 25th month of operation the payment rate shall be
based on the historical cost data for the rst calendar year
submied by the new provider.
All data used to set rates for facilities recognized as
a change-of-provider shall be adjusted to December 31,
2024. This adjustment will be based on the S&P Index.
The S&P indices listed in the latest available quarterly
publication will be used to adjust the reported cost data
from the midpoint of the cost report period to Decem-
ber 31, 2024. The provider shall remain in change-of-pro-
vider status until the base data period is reestablished.
During this time, the adjusted cost data shall be used to
determine all rates for the provider. Any additional fac-
tor for ination that is applied to cost data for established
providers shall be applied to the adjusted cost data for
each provider in change of provider status.
Rates for Facilities Re-entering the Program
(Reenrollment Status)
The per diem rate for each provider reentering the
Medicaid program shall be determined from a projected
cost report if the provider has not actively participated in
the program by the submission of any current resident
service billings to the program for 24 months or more.
The per diem rate for all other providers reentering the
program shall be determined from the base cost data
led with the agency or the most recent cost report led
preceding the base cost data period.
All cost data used to set rates for facilities reentering
the program shall be adjusted to December 31, 2024. This
adjustment will be based on the S&P Global Index. The
S&P Global indices listed in the latest available quarterly
publication will be used to adjust the reported cost data
from the midpoint of the cost report period to Decem-
ber 31, 2024. The provider shall remain in reenrollment
status until the base data period is reestablished. During
955
Kansas Register
Vol. 43, No. 25, June 20, 2024 © Kansas Secretary of State 2024
Notices
this time, the adjusted cost data shall be used to deter-
mine all rates for the provider. Any additional factor for
ination that is applied to cost data for established pro-
viders shall be applied to the adjusted cost data for each
provider in reenrollment status.
3. Quarterly Case Mix Index Calculation
Providers are required to submit to the agency the
uniform assessment instrument, which is the Minimum
Data Set (MDS), for each resident in the facility. The MDS
assessments are maintained in a computer database.
Eective July 1, 2024 the Patient Driven Payment Mod-
el (PDPM) Nursing component classication is used as
the resident classication system to determine all case-
mix indices, using data from the MDS submied by each
facility. The 25 PDPM case mix groups (CMG) and corre-
sponding case mix indices (CMI) (developed by the Cen-
ters for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and im-
plemented as of October 1, 2019) are used to determine
facility average CMIs and to adjust the Direct Health
Care costs in the determination of upper payment limits
and rate calculation. Resident assessments that cannot be
classied will be assigned the lowest CMI for the state.
Each resident in the facility on the rst day of each cal-
endar quarter with a completed and submied assess-
ment shall be assigned a PDPM nursing CMG calculated
on the resident’s most current assessment available on
the rst day of each calendar quarter. This PDPM nurs-
ing CMG shall be translated to the corresponding CMI
based on the PDPM weights eective October 1, 2019.
From the individual resident case mix indices, average
case mix indices for all residents and for each payment
source type (Medicaid, Medicare and Other) are calcu-
lated for each Medicaid nursing facility four times per
year based on the assessment information available on
the rst day of each calendar quarter.
The facility-wide average CMI is the simple average,
carried to four decimal places, of all resident case mix
indices. The Medicaid-average CMI is the simple av-
erage, carried to four decimal places, of all indices for
residents, including those receiving hospice services,
where Medicaid is known to be a per diem payer source
on the rst day of the calendar quarter or at any time
during the preceding quarter. The private-pay/other av-
erage CMI is the simple average, carried to four decimal
places, of all indices for residents where neither Med-
icaid nor Medicare were known to be the payer source
on the rst day of the calendar quarter or at any time
during the preceding quarter. Case mix indices for ven-
tilator-dependent residents for whom additional reim-
bursement has been determined shall be excluded from
the average CMI calculations.
Rates will be adjusted for case mix twice annually us-
ing case mix data from the two quarters preceding the
rate eective date. The case mix averages used for the
rate adjustments will be the simple average of the case
mix averages for each quarter. The resident listing cut-o
for calculating the average CMIs for each quarter will be
the rst day of the quarter. The following are the dates
for the resident listings and the rate periods in which the
average Medicaid CMIs will be used in the semi-annual
rate-seing process.
Rate Eective Date Cut-O Dates for Quarterly CMI
July 1 January 1 and April 1
January 1 July 1 and October 1
The resident listings will be distributed to providers pri-
or to the dates the semi-annual case mix adjusted rates are
determined. This will allow the providers time to review
the resident listings and make corrections before they are
notied of new rates. The cut o schedule may need to be
modied in the event accurate resident listings and Medic-
aid CMI scores cannot be obtained from the MDS database.
4. Resident Days
Facilities with 60 beds or less
For facilities with 60 beds or less, the allowable historic
per diem costs for all cost centers are determined by di-
viding the allowable resident related expenses by the ac-
tual resident days during the cost report period(s) used
to establish the base cost data.
Facilities with more than 60 beds
For facilities with more than 60 beds, the allowable his-
toric per diem costs for the Direct Health Care cost center
and for food and utilities in the Indirect Health Care cost
center are determined by dividing the allowable resident
related expenses by the actual resident days during the
cost report period(s) used to establish the base cost data.
The allowable historic per diem cost for the Operating
and Indirect Health Care Cost Centers less food and util-
ities is subject to an 85% minimum occupancy rule. For
these providers, the greater of the actual resident days
for the cost report period(s) used to establish the base
cost data or the 85% minimum occupancy based on the
number of licensed bed days during the cost report peri-
od(s) used to establish the base cost data is used as the
total resident days in the rate calculation for the Operat-
ing cost center and the Indirect Health Care cost center
less food and utilities. All licensed beds are required to
be certied to participate in the Medicaid program.
There are two exceptions to the 85% minimum occu-
pancy rule for facilities with more than 60 beds. The rst
is that it does not apply to a provider who is allowed to
le a projected cost report for an interim rate. Both the
rates determined from the projected cost report and the
historic cost report covering the projected cost report pe-
riod are based on the actual resident days for the period.
The second exception is for the rst cost report led
by a new provider who assumes the rate of the previ-
ous provider. If the 85% minimum occupancy rule was
applied to the previous provider’s rate, it is also applied
when the rate is assigned to the new provider. However,
when the new provider les a historic cost report for any
part of the rst 12 months of operation, the rate deter-
mined from the cost report will be based on actual days
and not be subject to the 85% minimum occupancy rule
for the months in the rst year of operation. The 85%
minimum occupancy rule is then reapplied to the rate
when the new provider reports resident days and costs
for the 13th month of operation and after.
5. Ination Factors
Ination will be applied to the allowable reported costs
from the calendar year cost report(s) used to determine
(continued)
956
Kansas Register
Vol. 43, No. 25, June 20, 2024© Kansas Secretary of State 2024
Notices
the base cost data from the midpoint of each cost report
period to December 31, 2024. The ination will be based
on the S&P Global, CMS Nursing Home without Capital
Market Basket index.
The S&P Global, CMS Nursing Home without Capital
Market Basket Indices listed in the latest available quar-
terly publication will be used to determine the ination
tables for the payment schedules processed during the
payment rate period. This may require the use of fore-
casted factors in the ination table. The ination tables
will not be revised until the next payment rate period.
The ination factor will not be applied to the following
costs:
1. Owner/Related Party Compensation
2. Interest Expense
3. Real and Personal Property Taxes
6. Upper Payment Limits
There are three types of upper payment limits that will
be described. One is the owner/related party/administra-
tor/co-administrator limit. The second is the real and per-
sonal property fee limit. The last type of limit is an upper
payment limit for each cost center. The upper payment
limits are in eect during the payment rate period unless
otherwise specied by a State Plan amendment.
Owner/Related Party/Administrator/Co-Administrator
Limits
Since salaries and other compensation of owners are
not subject to the usual market constraints, specic lim-
its are placed on the amounts reported. First, amounts
paid to non-working owners and directors are not an
allowable cost. Second, owners and related parties who
perform resident related services are limited to a salary
chart based on the Kansas Civil Service classications
and wages for comparable positions. Owners and related
parties who provide resident related services on less than
a full-time basis have their compensation limited by the
percent of their total work time to a standard work week.
A standard work week is dened as 40 hours. The own-
ers and related parties must be professionally qualied to
perform services which require licensure or certication.
The compensation paid to owners and related parties
shall be allocated to the appropriate cost center for the
type of service performed. Each cost center has an ex-
pense line for owner/related party compensation. There
is also a cost report schedule titled, “Statement of Own-
ers and Related Parties.” This schedule requires infor-
mation concerning the percent of ownership (if over ve
percent), the time spent in the function, the compensa-
tion, and a description of the work performed for each
owner and/or related party. Any salaries reported in
excess of the Kansas Civil Service based salary chart are
transferred to the Operating cost center where the excess
is subject to the Owner/Related Party/Administrator/
Co-Administrator per diem compensation limit.
Schedule C is an array of non-owner administrator and
co-administrator salaries. The schedule includes the cal-
endar year 2023 historic cost reports in the database from
all active nursing facility providers. The salary informa-
tion in the array is not adjusted for ination. The per diem
data is calculated using an 85% minimum occupancy level
for those providers in operation for more than 12 months
with more than 60 beds. Schedule C for the owner/related
party/administrator/co-administrator per diem compen-
sation limit is the rst schedule run during the rate seing.
Schedule C is used to set the per diem limitation for all
non-owner administrator and co-administrator salaries
and owner/related party compensation in excess of the civil
service based salary limitation schedule. The per diem lim-
it for a 50-bed or larger home is set at the 90th percentile
on all salaries reported for non-owner administrators and
co-administrators. A limitation table is then established for
facilities with less than 50 beds. This table begins with a rea-
sonable salary per diem for an administrator of a 15-bed or
less facility. The per diem limit for a 15-bed or less facility
is inated based on the State of Kansas annual cost of liv-
ing allowance for classied employees for the rate period.
A linear relationship is then established between the com-
pensation of the administrator of the 15-bed facility and the
compensation of the administrator of a 50-bed facility. The
linear relationship determines the per diem limit for the fa-
cilities between 15 and 50 beds.
The per diem limits apply to the non-owner adminis-
trators and co-administrators and the compensation paid
to owners and related parties who perform an admin-
istrative function or consultant type of service. The per
diem limit also applies to the salaries in excess of the civil
service-based salary chart in other cost centers that are
transferred to the operating cost center.
Real and Personal Property Fee Limit
The property component of the reimbursement meth-
odology consists of the real and personal property fee
that is explained in more detail in a later section. The
upper payment limit is 105% of the median determined
from a total resident day-weighted array of the property
fees in eect April 1, 2024.
Cost Center Upper Payment Limits
Schedule B is an array of all per diem costs for each
of the three cost centers-Operating, Indirect Health Care,
and Direct Health Care. The schedule includes a per
diem determined from the base cost data from all active
nursing facility providers. Projected cost reports are ex-
cluded when calculating the limit.
The per diem expenses for the Operating cost center
and the Indirect Health Care cost center less food and
utilities are subject to the 85% minimum occupancy for
facilities over 60 beds. All previous desk review and eld
audit adjustments are considered in the per diem ex-
pense calculations. The costs are adjusted by the owner/
related party/administrator/co-administrator limit.
Prior to the Schedule B arrays, the cost data on certain
expense lines is adjusted from the midpoint of the cost
report period to December 31, 2024. This will bring the
costs reported by the providers to a common point in
time for comparisons. The ination will be based on the
S&P Global, CMS Nursing Home Without Capital Mar-
ket Basket Index.
Certain costs are exempt from the ination application
when seing the upper payment limits. They include
owner/related party compensation, interest expense, and
real and personal property taxes.
Schedule B is the median compilations. These compi-
lations are needed for seing the upper payment limit
957

for each cost center. The median for each cost center is
weighted based on total resident days. The upper pay-
ment limits will be set using the following:
Operating 110% of the median
Indirect Health Care 115% of the median
Direct Health Care 130% of the median
Direct Health Care Cost Center Limit
The Kansas reimbursement methodology has a com-
ponent for a case mix payment adjustment. The Direct
Health Care cost center rate component and upper pay-
ment limit are adjusted by the facility average CMI.
For the purpose of seing the upper payment limit in
the Direct Health Care cost center, the facility cost report
period CMI and the statewide average CMI will be cal-
culated. The facility cost report period CMI is the resi-
dent day-weighted average of the quarterly facility-wide
average case mix indices, carried to four decimal places.
The quarters used in this average will be the quarters that
most closely coincide with the nancial and statistical re-
porting period. For example, a 01/01/20XX-12/31/20XX
nancial and statistical reporting period would use the
facility-wide average case mix indices for quarters be-
ginning 04/01/XX, 07/01/XX, 10/01/XX and 01/01/XY. The
statewide average CMI is the resident day-weighted av-
erage, carried to four decimal places of the facility cost
report period case mix indices for all Medicaid facilities.
The statewide average CMI and facility cost report pe-
riod CMI are used to set the upper payment limit for the
Direct Health Care cost center. The limit is based on all fa-
cilities with a historic cost report in the database. There are
three steps in establishing the base upper payment limit.
The rst step is to normalize each facility’s inated Di-
rect Health Care costs to the statewide average CMI. This
is done by dividing the statewide average CMI for the
cost report year by the facility’s cost report period CMI,
then multiplying this answer by the facility’s inated
costs. This step is repeated for each cost report year for
which data is included in the base cost data.
The second step is to determine per diem costs and ar-
ray them to determine the median. The per diem cost is
determined by dividing the total of each provider’s in-
ated case mix adjusted base direct health care costs by
the total days provided during the base cost data period.
The median is located using a day-weighted methodolo-
gy. That is, the median cost is the per diem cost for the
facility in the array at which point the cumulative total of
all resident days rst equals or exceeds half the number
of the total resident days for all providers. The facility
with the median resident day in the array sets the medi-
an inated direct health care cost. For example, if there
are eight million resident days, the facility in the array
with the 4 millionth day would set the median.
The nal step in calculating the base Direct Health Care
upper payment limit is to apply the percentage factor to
the median cost. For example, if the median cost is $150
and the upper payment limit is based on 130% of the me-
dian, then the upper payment limit for the statewide av-
erage CMI would be $195 (D=130% x $150).
7. Quarterly Case Mix Rate Adjustment
The allowance for the Direct Health Care cost compo-
nent will be based on the average Medicaid CMI in the
facility. The rst step in calculating the allowance is to
determine the Allowable Direct Health Care Per Diem
Cost. This is the lesser of the facility’s per diem cost from
the base cost data period or the Direct Health Care up-
per payment limit. Because the direct health care costs
were previously adjusted for the statewide average CMI,
the Allowable Direct Health Care Per Diem Cost corre-
sponds to the statewide average CMI.
The next step is to determine the Medicaid acuity ad-
justed allowable Direct Health Care cost. The facility’s
Medicaid CMI is determined by averaging the facility
average Medicaid CMI from the two quarters preced-
ing the rate eective date. The facility’s Medicaid CMI is
then divided by the statewide average CMI for the cost
data period. Finally, this result, is then multiplied by the
Allowable Direct Health Care per diem cost. The result is
referred to as the Medicaid Acuity Adjustment.
The Medicaid Acuity Adjustment is calculated semi-an-
nually to account for changes in the Medicaid CMI. To il-
lustrate this calculation, take the following situation: The
facility’s direct health care per diem cost is $120.00, the
Direct Health Care per diem limit is $195.00, and these are
both tied to a statewide average CMI of 1.000, and the fa-
cility’s current Medicaid CMI is 0.9000. Since the per diem
costs are less than the limit the Allowable Direct Heath
Care Cost is $120.00, and this is matched with the state-
wide average CMI of 1.0000. To calculate the Medicaid
Acuity Adjustment, rst divide the Medicaid CMI by the
statewide average CMI, then multiply the result by the Al-
lowable Direct Health Care Cost. In this case that would
result in $108.00 (0.9000/1.0000 x $120.00). Because the fa-
cility’s current Medicaid CMI is less than the statewide av-
erage CMI the Medicaid Acuity Adjustment moves the di-
rect health care per diem down proportionally. In contrast,
if the Medicaid CMI for the next semi-annual adjustment
rose to 1.1000, the Medicaid Acuity Adjustment would be
$132.00 (1.1000/1.0000 x $120.00). Again the Medicaid Acu-
ity Adjustment changes the Allowable Direct Health Care
Per Diem Cost to match the current Medicaid CMI.
8. Real and Personal Property Fee
The property component of the reimbursement meth-
odology consists of the real and personal property fee
(property fee). The property fee is paid in lieu of an al-
lowable cost of mortgage interest, depreciation, lease ex-
pense and/or amortization of leasehold improvements.
The fee is facility specic and does not change as a result
of a change of ownership, change in lease, or with re-en-
rollment in the Medicaid program. The original property
fee was comprised of two components, a property allow-
ance and a property value factor. The dierentiation of
the fee into these components was eliminated eective
July 1, 2002. At that time each facility’s fee was re-estab-
lished based on the sum of the property allowance and
value factor. The providers receive the lower of the in-
ated property fee or the upper payment limit.
For providers re-enrolling in the Kansas Medical As-
sistance program or providers enrolling for the rst time
but operating in a facility that was previously enrolled in
the program, the property fee shall be the sum of the last
eective property allowance and the last eective value
factor for that facility. The property fee will be inated to

12/31/08 and then compared to the upper payment limit.
The property fee will be the lower of the facility-specic
inated property fee or the upper payment limit.
Providers entering the Kansas Medical Assistance
program for the rst time, who are operating in a build-
ing for which a fee has not previously been established,
shall have a property fee calculated from the ownership
costs reported on the cost report. This fee shall include
appropriate components for rent or lease expense, in-
terest expense on real estate mortgage, amortization of
leasehold improvements, and depreciation on buildings
and equipment. The process for calculating the property
fee for providers entering the Kansas Medical Assistance
program for the rst time is explained in greater detail in
K.A.R. 129-10-25.
There is a provision for changing the property fee. This
is for a rebasing when capital expenditure thresholds are
met ($25,000 for homes under 51 beds and $50,000 for
homes over 50 beds). The original property fee remains
constant but the additional factor for the rebasing is add-
ed. The property fee rebasing is explained in greater de-
tail in K.A.R. 129-10-25. The rebased property fee is sub-
ject to the upper payment limit.
9. Incentive Factors
An incentive factor will be awarded to both NF and
NF-MH providers that meet certain outcome measures
criteria. The criteria for NF and NF-MH providers will be
determined separately based on arrays of outcome mea-
sures for each provider group.
Nursing Facility Quality and Eciency Incentive Factor
The Nursing Facility Incentive Factor is a per diem
amount determined by four per diem add-ons providers
can earn for various outcomes measures. Providers that
maintain a case mix adjusted stang ratio at or above
the 75th percentile will earn a $3.00 per diem add-on.
Providers that fall below the 75th percentile stang ratio
but improve their stang ratio by 10% or more will earn
a $0.50 per diem add-on. Providers that achieve a sta
retention rate at or above the 75th percentile will earn a
$2.50 per diem add-on as long as contracted labor costs
do not exceed 10% of the provider’s total direct health
care labor costs. Providers that have a sta retention rate
lower than the 75th percentile but that increase their sta
retention rate by 10% or more will receive a per diem
add-on of $0.50 as long as contracted labor costs do not
exceed 10% of the provider’s total direct health care la-
bor costs. Providers that have a Medicaid occupancy per-
centage of 65% or more will receive a $0.75 per diem add-
on. Finally, providers that maintain quality measures at
or above the 75th percentile will earn a $1.25 per diem
add-on. The total of all the per diem add-ons a provider
qualies for will be their incentive factor.
The table below summarizes the incentive factor out-
comes and per diem add-ons:
Incentive Outcome

Add-ons
CMI adjusted stang ratio ≥ 75th percentile (5.36), or $3.00
CMI adjusted stang < 75th percentile but improved ≥ 10% $0.50
Sta retention rate ≥ 75th percentile, 71%
Contracted labor < 10% of total direct health care labor costs or $2.50

Contracted labor < 10% of total direct health care labor costs $0.50
Medicaid occupancy ≥ 65% $0.75
Quality Measures ≥ 75th percentile (580) $1.25
Total Incentive Add-on Available $7.50
The Culture Change/Person-Centered Care Incentive
Program
The Culture Change/Person-Centered Care Incentive
Program (PEAK 2.0) includes nine dierent incentive
levels to recognize homes that are either pursuing cul-
ture change, have made major achievements in the pur-
suit of culture change, have met minimum competencies
in person-centered care, have sustained person-centered
care, or are mentoring others in person-centered care.
Each incentive level has a specic pay-for-performance
incentive per diem aached to it that homes can earn by
meeting dened outcomes. The rst six levels (Level 0 –
Level 5) are intended to encourage quality improvement
for homes that have not yet met the minimum competen-
cy requirements for a person-centered care home.
Level 6 recognizes those homes that have aained a
minimum level of core competency in person-centered
care. Level 7 and Level 8 are reserved for those homes
that have demonstrated sustained person-centered care
for multiple years and have gone on to mentor other
homes in their pursuit of person-centered care. The table
below provides a brief overview of each of the levels.

Nursing Facility for Mental Health Quality and
Eciency Incentive Factor
The Quality and Eciency Incentive plan for Nursing
Facilities for Mental Health (NFMH) will be established
separately from nursing facilities. Nursing Facilities for
Mental Health serve people who often do not need the
NF level of care on a long-term basis. There is a desire to
provide incentive for NFMHs to work cooperatively and
in coordination with Community Mental Health Centers
to facilitate the return of persons to the community.
The Quality and Eciency Incentive Factor is a per
diem add-on ranging from zero to seven dollars and fty
cents. It is designed to encourage quality care, eciency
and cooperation with discharge planning. The incentive
factor is determined by ve outcome measures: case-mix
adjusted nurse stang ratio; operating expense; sta
turnover rate; sta retention rate; and occupancy rate.
Each provider is awarded points based on their out-
comes measures and the total points for each provider
determine the per diem incentive factor included in the
provider’s rate calculation.
Providers may earn up to two incentive points for their
case mix adjusted nurse stang ratio. They will receive
two points if their case-mix adjusted stang ratio equals
or exceeds 3.41, which is 120% of the statewide NFMH
median of 2.84. They will receive one point if the ratio
is less than 120% of the NFMH median but greater than
or equal to 3.12, which is 110% of the statewide NFMH
median. Providers with stang ratios below 110% of the
NFMH median will receive no points for this incentive
measure.
NFMH providers may earn one point for low occupan-
cy outcomes measures. If they have total occupancy less
than 90% they will earn a point.
NFMH providers may earn one point for low operat-
ing expense outcomes measures. The provider will earn
one point if the per diem operating expenses are below
$35.73, or 90% of the statewide median of $39.70.
NFMH providers may earn up to two points for the
turnover rate outcomes measure. Providers with di-
rect health care sta turnover equal to or below 63%,
the 75th percentile statewide, will earn two points as
long as contracted labor costs do not exceed 10% of the
provider’s total direct health care labor costs. Providers
with direct health care sta turnover greater than 63%
but equal to or below 68%, the 50th percentile statewide,
will earn one point as long as contracted labor costs do
not exceed 10% of the provider’s total direct health care
labor costs.
Finally, NFMH providers may earn up to two points
for the retention rate outcomes measure. Providers with
sta retention rates at or above 59%, the 75th percentile
statewide will earn two points. Providers with sta re-
tention rates below 59% but at or above 45%, the 50th
percentile statewide, will earn one point.
The table below summarizes the incentive factor out-
comes and points:
Quality/Eciency Outcome

Contracted labor < 10% of total direct health care labor costs
Sta retention ≥ 75th percentile, 59% 2, or
Sta retention ≥ 50th percentile, 45% 1
Total Incentive Points Available 8
Schedule E is an array containing the incentive points
awarded to each NFMH provider for each quality and ef-
ciency incentive outcome. The total of these points will
be used to determine each provider’s incentive factor
based on the following table.
Total Incentive Points Incentive Factor Per Diem
Tier 1: 6-8 points $7.50
Tier 2: 5 points $5.00
Tier 3: 4 points $2.50
Tier 4: 0-3 points $0.00
The survey and certication performance of each NF
and NFMH provider will be reviewed quarterly to deter-
mine each provider’s eligibility for incentive factor pay-
ments. In order to qualify for an incentive, factor a home
must not have received any health care survey decien-
cy of scope and severity level “H” or higher during the
survey review period. Homes that receive “G” level de-
ciencies, but no “H” level or higher deciencies, and that
correct the “G” level deciencies within 30 days of the
survey, will be eligible to receive 50% of the calculated
incentive factor. Homes that receive no deciencies high-

er than scope and severity level “F” will be eligible to
receive 100% of the calculated incentive factor. The sur-
vey and certication review period will be the 12-month
period ending one quarter prior to the incentive eligibil-
ity review date. The following table lists the incentive el-
igibility review dates and corresponding review period
end dates.
Incentive Eligibility Eective Date Review Period End Date
July 1 March 31st
October 1 June 30th
January 1 September 30th
April 1 December 31st
10. Rate Eective Date
Rate eective dates are determined in accordance with
K.A.R. 129-10-19. The rate may be revised for an add-on
reimbursement factor (i.e., rebased property fee), desk
review adjustment or eld audit adjustment.
11. Retroactive Rate Adjustments
Retroactive adjustments, as in a retrospective system,
are made for the following three conditions:
A retroactive rate adjustment and direct cash sele-
ment is made if the agency determines that the base year
cost report data used to determine the prospective pay-
ment rate was in error. The prospective payment rate pe-
riod is adjusted for the corrections.
If a projected cost report is approved to determine an
interim rate, a selement is also made after a historic cost
report is led for the same period.
All selements are subject to upper payment limits. A
provider is considered to be in projection status if they
are operating on a projected rate and they are subject to
the retroactive rate adjustment.
A.2 Medicaid Add-On
To compensate and incentivize providers with high
Medicaid participation a per diem add-on has been de-
termined and will be paid to each Medicaid provider in
SFY25. The per diem will be added to the nursing facility
Medicaid per diem rate.
1. Qualifying Providers
All providers currently enrolled in the Medicaid pro-
gram will be eligible for the add-on.
2. Medicaid Add-On Calculation
Funds allocated for the add-on were divided by Med-
icaid bed days reported in CY23 nursing facility cost re-
ports which resulted in a at rate of $15.18 per Medicaid
resident day. Each facility’s Medicaid rate will be deter-
mined by adding $15.18 to the facility’s base SFY25 per
diem rate.
A.3 Rapid Response Stang Grant Adjustment
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment
began partnering with KFMC Health Improvement
Partners (KFMC) in 2022 to assist long-term care fa-
cilities impacted by COVID-19 with emergency tem-
porary stang services through the Rapid Response
Stang Support Center Grant program. This program
provides qualifying nursing facilities with short-term
(up to two weeks) emergency stang services. The
costs of the emergency stang services provided to
each facility are covered entirely by the program with
no expenditures from the facility. Therefore this ad-
ditional stang and the costs related to it are not re-
ected in the Medicaid cost reports. To account for
grant program expenditures made on behalf of each
Medicaid nursing facility, a Rapid Response Stang
Grant Adjustment will be added to each participating
facility’s total reported Direct Health Care Costs for
each applicable year in the base cost data period. The
Rapid Response Stang Grant Adjustment will reect
the amount of grant funds expended in a given cost
report year to provide emergency stang services to
the facility. This amount will be combined with the
total reported costs and cost report adjustments to de-
termine the total adjusted costs for Direct Health Care
for each cost report year included in the base data peri-
od. The grant expenditures will be subject to ination
and case mix adjustments applied to the Direct Health
Care costs for each year. The grant expenditures will
then ow through the rate calculation as part of the
Direct Health Care costs subject to the cost center lim-
itation and Medicaid acuity adjustment to determine
the Direct Health Care per diem rate component.
1. Qualifying Providers
All providers identied by KFMC as receiving emer-
gency temporary stang services through the Rapid Re-
sponse Stang Support Center Grant program.
2. Rapid Response Stang Grant Adjustment
The annual grant expenditure amount made on behalf
of each facility will be added to the Direct Health Care
costs prior to adjusting for ination and case mix.
II. Medicaid Per Diem Rates for Kansas Nursing Facilities
A. Cost Center Limitations
The state establishes the following cost center limita-
tions which are used in seing rates eective July 1, 2024.
Cost Center Limit Formula Per Day Limit
Operating 110% of the Median Cost $57.16
Indirect Health Care 115% of the Median Cost $70.24
Direct Health Care 130% of the Median Cost $192.96
Real and Personal Property Fee 105% of the Median Fee $10.51
These amounts were determined according to the “Re-
imbursement Limitations” section. The Direct Health-
care Limit is calculated based on a CMI of 1.2906, which
is the statewide average for the three-year base cost data
period.
B. Case Mix Index
These revised nal rates are based upon each nursing
facility’s Medicaid CMI calculated as the average of the
quarterly Medicaid CMI averages with a cuto dates of
January 1, 2024 and April 1, 2024. The CMI calculations
use PDPM Nursing component CMI values implement-
ed by CMS eective October 1, 2019. In Section II.C be-
low, each nursing facility’s Medicaid average CMI is list-
ed beside its per diem rate.

III. Justications for the Rates
1. The revised nal rates are calculated according to
the rate-seing methodology in the Kansas Medic-
aid State Plan and pending amendments thereto.
2. The revised nal rates are calculated according to
a methodology which satises the requirements
of K.S.A. 39-708c(x) and the DHCF regulations in
K.A.R. Article 129-10 implementing that statute and
applicable federal law.
3. The State’s analyses project that the rates:
a. Would result in payment, in the aggregate of
104.49% of the Medicaid day weighted average
inated allowable nursing facility costs state-
wide; and
b. Would result in a maximum allowable rate of
$330.87 (for a CMI of 1.2906); with the total aver-
age allowable cost being $282.01.
c. Average Payment rate July 1, 2024 - $288.27
d. Average payment rate July 1, 2023 - $276.36
Amount of change - $11.91
Percent of change - 4.31%
4. Estimated annual aggregate expenditures in the
Medicaid nursing facility services payment pro-
gram will increase approximately $42.2 million.*
5. The state estimates that the rates will continue to
make quality care and services available under the
Medicaid State Plan at least to the extent that care
and services are available to the general population
in the geographic area. The state’s analyses indicate:
a. Service providers operating a total of 298 nursing
facilities and hospital-based long-term care units
(representing 96.75% of all the licensed nursing
facilities and long-term care units in Kansas)
participate in the Medicaid program;
b. There is at least one Medicaid-certied nursing
facility and/or nursing facility for mental health,
or Medicaid-certied hospital-based long-term
care unit in 96 of the 105 counties in Kansas;
c. The statewide average occupancy rate for nurs-
ing facilities participating in Medicaid is 79.32%;
d. The statewide average Medicaid occupancy rate
for participating facilities is 60.27%; and
e. The rates would cover 104.51%** of the estimat-
ed Medicaid direct health care costs incurred by
participating nursing facilities statewide.
6. Federal Medicaid regulations at 42 C.F.R. 447.272
impose an aggregate upper payment limit that states
may pay for Medicaid nursing facility services. The
state’s analysis indicates that the methodology will
result in compliance with the federal regulation.
*Includes Medicaid Add-On; see A.2.
**Includes Long Term Care Rapid Response Stang
Support Center grant.
7. The Federal scal impact for Fee for Service is as
follows:
Fee-For-
Service Only
Estimated Federal
Financial Participation
FFY 2024 (July-Sept 2024 $189,790
FFY 2025 (Oct-June) $571,494
IV. Response to Comments Received
The state received formal comments from Kansas
Health Care Association to its Proposed Nursing Facility
rates published on April 11, 2024 in the Kansas Register.
The comments were taken into consideration during the
rate seing process. The review of this revised nal no-
tice of the Nursing Facility rates ends on July 20, 2024.

ments to CMS on or before September 30, 2024.

suance, by the Authority in one or more series of tax-ex-
empt facility revenue bonds (the “Reissued Bonds”) in a
principal amount of not to exceed $4,470,000 to refund
and reissue the Authority’s Multifamily Housing Reve-
nue Bonds (Davidson’s Landing Apartment Homes Proj-
ect) Series 2021E-2 (the “Refunded Bonds”), which were
originally issued as qualied residential project bonds
under Section 142 of the Internal Revenue Code. The pro-
ceeds of the Refunded Bonds were applied to nance a

ment for persons of low and moderate income located at

ated by Davidson’s Landing WHP, LP, a Kansas limited

The Reissued Bonds will be limited obligations of the
Authority, payable solely from revenues pledged by the
Borrower, and will not constitute a general obligation or
indebtedness of the State of Kansas or any political sub-
division thereof, nor will the Reissued Bonds constitute
an indebtedness for which the faith and credit and taxing
powers of the State of Kansas are pledged, but the Reis-
sued Bonds will be payable solely and only from reve-
nues pledged by the Borrower in amounts sucient to
pay the principal of, interest and redemption premium,
if any, on the Reissued Bonds.
