Medicaid Regional Rates for Calculating Transfer Penalty Periods for 2022

01/07/2022
The New York State Department of Health has increased the 2022 Medicaid regional nursing home rates which must be used when calculating a transfer of assets penalty period for coverage of nursing facility services. This is in accordance with 96 ADM-8, “OBRA ’93 Provisions on Transfers and Trusts” and 06 OMM/ADM5, “Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 – Long-Term Care Medicaid Eligibility Changes.” These rates are based on average private pay nursing home costs in each of the seven regions in the State. Districts must use the regional rate in effect as of the date of application or the date of request for an increase in coverage for the region in which the facility is located.
