Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

305 ILCS 5/5-5.1

(305 ILCS 5/5-5.1) (from Ch. 23, par. 5-5.1)

Sec. 5-5.1. Grouping of facilities.

The Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall, for purposes of payment, provide for
groupings of nursing facilities.  Factors to be considered
in grouping facilities may include, but are not limited to,
size, age, patient mix, percentage of Medicaid funded residents, or geographical area.

The groupings developed under this Section shall be
considered in determining reasonable cost reimbursement
formulas.  However, this Section shall not preclude the
Department from recognizing and evaluating the cost of
capital on a facility-by-facility basis.

A resident of a nursing facility whose application for long term care benefits is awaiting final action shall be included in the calculation as a Medicaid funded resident.
