Under the medical assistance program, provides that for facilities licensed by the Department of Public Health under the Nursing Home Care Act as skilled nursing facilities or intermediate care facilities, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall adjust the rate of any nursing facility that participates in the Department of Public Health nursing home conversion and bed reduction pilot program under the Older Adult Services Act so that the nursing facility rate reflects adjustments necessitated by the conversion activity.

Effective immediately.Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Healthcare & Family Services) HB1188 (H-AM 1) has no fiscal impact on the Department. Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Public Health) HB 1188 (H-AM 1) creates no fiscal impact to IDPH Office of Health Care Regulation (OHCR). The amendment introduces a new reimbursement rate for long term care facilities that participate in the conversion project. The fiscal impact would be an Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services issue with this amendment. The Illinois Department of Public Health is responsible for the conversion pilot program, but this pilot program is with existing long term care facilities and would not create any additional work or require any additional resources from OHCR. Therefore, HB 1188 (H-AM 1) is budget neutral for OHCR.Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Deletes reference to:320 ILCS 42/30Replaces everything after the enacting clause.
