Nursing Facility Rate List
The Nursing Facility Rate List contains various information on nursing facilities participating in the MO HealthNet program. The information contained in this report is current as of the date indicated on the report and is true and accurate to the best of MHD’s knowledge. This report is updated when global per diem rate adjustments applicable to all nursing facilities are implemented by the MO HealthNet Division.
This report contains the rates MHD has reimbursed or is currently reimbursing nursing facilities for services provided to MO HealthNet participants. The effective dates indicated in the column headings correspond to changes in the nursing facility regulations that resulted in global, industry-wide per diem rate changes. However, there may be circumstances for individual facilities where the effective date of the rate may not correspond to the date in the column such as for new nursing facilities or facilities that had their prospective rate established.
The legend at the bottom of the report explains the rate type, entity code, and the various other notations included in the report. Please note in particular, payments to facilities based on rates that are not final (i.e., rate is under appeal or facility is operating under an interim rate) may be subject to retroactive settlement, including recoupment. MHD will make any retroactive settlements to the provider of record, regardless of the provider for the applicable dates of service.
