Morgan moved to amend H. F. No. 1233, the second engrossment, as follows:

 

Page 157, delete section 3 and insert:

 

"Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 256.969, subdivision 3a, is amended to read:

 

Subd. 3a.  Payments.  (a) Acute care hospital billings under the medical assistance program must not be submitted until the recipient is discharged.  However, the commissioner shall establish monthly interim payments for inpatient hospitals that have individual patient lengths of stay over 30 days regardless of diagnostic category.  Except as provided in section 256.9693, medical assistance reimbursement for treatment of mental illness shall be reimbursed based on diagnostic classifications.  Individual hospital payments established under this section and sections 256.9685, 256.9686, and 256.9695, in addition to third-party and recipient liability, for discharges occurring during the rate year shall not exceed, in aggregate, the charges for the medical assistance covered inpatient services paid for the same period of time to the hospital.  This payment limitation shall be calculated separately for medical assistance and general assistance medical care services.  The limitation on general assistance medical care shall be effective for admissions occurring on or after July 1, 1991.  Services that have rates established under subdivision 11 or 12, must be limited separately from other services.  After consulting with the affected hospitals, the commissioner may consider related hospitals one entity and may merge the payment rates while maintaining separate provider numbers.  The operating and property base rates per admission or per day shall be derived from the best Medicare and claims data available when rates are established.  The commissioner shall determine the best Medicare and claims data, taking into consideration variables of recency of the data, audit disposition, settlement status, and the ability to set rates in a timely manner.  The commissioner shall notify hospitals of payment rates by December 1 of the year preceding the rate year.  The rate setting data must reflect the admissions data used to establish relative values.  Base year changes from 1981 to the base year established for the rate year beginning January 1, 1991, and for subsequent rate years, shall not be limited to the limits ending June 30, 1987, on the maximum rate of increase under subdivision 1.  The commissioner may adjust base year cost, relative value, and case mix index data to exclude the costs of services that have been discontinued by the October 1 of the year preceding the rate year or that are paid separately from inpatient services.  Inpatient stays that encompass portions of two or more rate years shall have payments established based on payment rates in effect at the time of admission unless the date of admission preceded the rate year in effect by six months or more.  In this case, operating payment rates for services rendered during the rate year in effect and established based on the date of admission shall be adjusted to the rate year in effect by the hospital cost index.

 

(b) For fee-for-service admissions occurring on or after July 1, 2002, the total payment, before third-party liability and spenddown, made to hospitals for inpatient services is reduced by .5 percent from the current statutory rates.

 

(c) In addition to the reduction in paragraph (b), the total payment for fee-for-service admissions occurring on or after July 1, 2003, made to hospitals for inpatient services before third-party liability and spenddown, is reduced five percent from the current statutory rates.  Mental health services within diagnosis related groups 424 to 432, and facilities defined under subdivision 16 are excluded from this paragraph.

 

(d) In addition to the reduction in paragraphs (b) and (c), the total payment for fee-for-service admissions occurring on or after August 1, 2005, made to hospitals for inpatient services before third-party liability and spenddown, is reduced 6.0 percent from the current statutory rates.  Mental health services within diagnosis related groups 424 to 432 and facilities defined under subdivision 16 are excluded from this paragraph.  Notwithstanding

(e) In addition to the reductions in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d), the total payment for fee-for-service admissions occurring on or after July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009, made to hospitals for inpatient services before third-party liability and spenddown, is reduced 3.46 percent from the current statutory rates.  Mental health services with diagnosis related groups 424 to 432 and facilities defined under subdivision 16 are excluded from this paragraph.  Payments made to managed care plans shall be reduced for services provided on or after January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009, to reflect this reduction.

 

(f) In addition to the reductions in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d), the total payment for fee-for-service admissions occurring on or after July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2011, made to hospitals for inpatient services before third-party liability and spenddown, is reduced 1.9 percent from the current statutory rates.  Mental health services with diagnosis related groups 424 to 432 and facilities defined under subdivision 16 are excluded from this paragraph.  Payments made to managed care plans shall be reduced for services provided on or after July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2011, to reflect this reduction.

 

(g) In addition to the reductions in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d), the total payment for fee-for-service admissions occurring on or after July 1, 2011, made to hospitals for inpatient services before third-party liability and spenddown, is reduced 1.79 percent from the current statutory rates.  Mental health services with diagnosis related groups 424 to 432 and facilities defined under subdivision 16 are excluded from this paragraph.  Payments made to managed care plans shall be reduced for services provided on or after July 1, 2011, to reflect this reduction.

(i) In addition to the reductions in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (g), and (h), the total payment for fee-for-service admissions occurring on or after July 1, 2011, made to hospitals for inpatient services before third-party liability and spenddown, is reduced 1.96 percent from the current statutory rates.  Facilities defined under subdivision 16 are excluded from this paragraph.  Payments made to managed care plans shall be reduced for services provided on or after January 1, 2011, to reflect this reduction.

 

(j) In order to offset the rateable reductions provided for in this subdivision, the total payment rate for medical assistance admissions for non-government-owned hospitals occurring on or after July 1, 2013, made to Minnesota hospitals for inpatient services before third-party liability and spenddown, shall be increased by a dollar amount equivalent to 30 percent from the current statutory rates, but the funds available shall be further distributed as follows:

 

(1) 25 percent of available funding under this paragraph shall be for an across the board inpatient services rate increase;

 

(2) nine percent of available funding under this paragraph shall be to increase the medical assistance rates paid for services at Minnesota non-government-owned hospitals above the 85th percentile for patient days for patients under 18 years of age in calendar year 2012 of all Minnesota private, nonprofit hospitals;

 

(3) two percent of available funding under this paragraph shall be to increase the rates paid for medical assistance admissions occurring on or after July 1, 2013, at Minnesota non-government-owned hospitals above the 90th percentile for patient days for patients under 18 years of age in calendar year 2011 of all Minnesota private, nonprofit hospitals for diagnosis-related groups 453 to 517, 533 to 541, 906, and 956;

(8) one percent of available funding under this paragraph shall be to increase the medical assistance rates paid for services occurring on or after July 1, 2013, at Minnesota non-government-owned hospitals verified by the American College of Surgeons as Level I trauma centers.

 

The commissioner shall not adjust rates paid to a prepaid health plan under contract with the commissioner to reflect payments provided in this paragraph.  The commissioner shall adjust rates and payments in excess of the Medicare upper limits on payments according to section 256.9685, subdivision 2.

"Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 256.9657, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

 

Subdivision 1.  Nursing home license surcharge.  (a) Effective July 1, 1993, each non-state-operated nursing home licensed under chapter 144A shall pay to the commissioner an annual surcharge according to the schedule in subdivision 4.  The surcharge shall be calculated as $620 per licensed bed.  If the number of licensed beds is reduced, the surcharge shall be based on the number of remaining licensed beds the second month following the receipt of timely notice by the commissioner of human services that beds have been delicensed.  The nursing home must notify the commissioner of health in writing when beds are delicensed.  The commissioner of health must notify the commissioner of human services within ten working days after receiving written notification.  If the notification is received by the commissioner of human services by the 15th of the month, the invoice for the second following month must be reduced to recognize the delicensing of beds.  Beds on layaway status continue to be subject to the surcharge.  The commissioner of human services must acknowledge a medical care surcharge appeal within 30 days of receipt of the written appeal from the provider.

(e) (f) The commissioner may reduce, and may subsequently restore, the surcharge under paragraph (d) (e) based on the commissioner's determination of a permissible surcharge.

 

(f) (g) Between April 1, 2002, and August 15, 2004 July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016, a facility governed by this subdivision may elect to assume full participation in the medical assistance program by agreeing to comply with all of the requirements of the medical assistance program, including the rate equalization law in section 256B.48, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), and all other requirements established in law or rule, and to begin intake of new medical assistance recipients.  Rates will be determined under Minnesota Rules, parts 9549.0010 to 9549.0080.  Rate calculations will be subject to limits as prescribed in rule and law.  Other than the adjustments in sections 256B.431, subdivisions 30 and 32; 256B.437, subdivision 3, paragraph (b), Minnesota Rules, part 9549.0057, and any other applicable legislation enacted prior to the finalization of rates, facilities assuming full participation in medical assistance under this paragraph are not eligible for any rate adjustments until the July 1 following their settle-up period.

Abeler moved to amend H. F. No. 1233, the second engrossment, as amended, as follows:

 

Page 184, after line 13, insert:


Journal of the House - 41st Day - Monday, April 22, 2013 - Top of Page 3685

"Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 252.27, subdivision 2a, is amended to read:

 

Subd. 2a.  Contribution amount.  (a) The natural or adoptive parents of a minor child, including a child determined eligible for medical assistance without consideration of parental income, must contribute to the cost of services used by making monthly payments on a sliding scale based on income, unless the child is married or has been married, parental rights have been terminated, or the child's adoption is subsidized according to section 259.67 or through title IV-E of the Social Security Act.  The parental contribution is a partial or full payment for medical services provided for diagnostic, therapeutic, curing, treating, mitigating, rehabilitation, maintenance, and personal care services as defined in United States Code, title 26, section 213, needed by the child with a chronic illness or disability.

 

(b) For households with adjusted gross income equal to or greater than 100 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be computed by applying the following schedule of rates to the adjusted gross income of the natural or adoptive parents:

 

(1) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 100 percent of federal poverty guidelines and less than 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution is $4 per month;

 

(2) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines and less than or equal to 545 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be determined using a sliding fee scale established by the commissioner of human services which begins at one percent of adjusted gross income at 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines and increases to 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income for those with adjusted gross income up to 545 percent of federal poverty guidelines;

 

(3) if the adjusted gross income is greater than 545 percent of federal poverty guidelines and less than 675 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income;

 

(4) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 675 percent of federal poverty guidelines and less than 975 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be determined using a sliding fee scale established by the commissioner of human services which begins at 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income at 675 percent of federal poverty guidelines and increases to ten percent of adjusted gross income for those with adjusted gross income up to 975 percent of federal poverty guidelines; and

 

(5) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 975 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be 12.5 percent of adjusted gross income.

 

If the child lives with the parent, the annual adjusted gross income is reduced by $2,400 prior to calculating the parental contribution.  If the child resides in an institution specified in section 256B.35, the parent is responsible for the personal needs allowance specified under that section in addition to the parental contribution determined under this section.  The parental contribution is reduced by any amount required to be paid directly to the child pursuant to a court order, but only if actually paid.

 

(c) The household size to be used in determining the amount of contribution under paragraph (b) includes natural and adoptive parents and their dependents, including the child receiving services.  Adjustments in the contribution amount due to annual changes in the federal poverty guidelines shall be implemented on the first day of July following publication of the changes.

 

(d) For purposes of paragraph (b), "income" means the adjusted gross income of the natural or adoptive parents determined according to the previous year's federal tax form, except, effective retroactive to July 1, 2003, taxable capital gains to the extent the funds have been used to purchase a home shall not be counted as income.


Journal of the House - 41st Day - Monday, April 22, 2013 - Top of Page 3686

(e) The contribution shall be explained in writing to the parents at the time eligibility for services is being determined.  The contribution shall be made on a monthly basis effective with the first month in which the child receives services.  Annually upon redetermination or at termination of eligibility, if the contribution exceeded the cost of services provided, the local agency or the state shall reimburse that excess amount to the parents, either by direct reimbursement if the parent is no longer required to pay a contribution, or by a reduction in or waiver of parental fees until the excess amount is exhausted.  All reimbursements must include a notice that the amount reimbursed may be taxable income if the parent paid for the parent's fees through an employer's health care flexible spending account under the Internal Revenue Code, section 125, and that the parent is responsible for paying the taxes owed on the amount reimbursed.

 

(f) The monthly contribution amount must be reviewed at least every 12 months; when there is a change in household size; and when there is a loss of or gain in income from one month to another in excess of ten percent.  The local agency shall mail a written notice 30 days in advance of the effective date of a change in the contribution amount.  A decrease in the contribution amount is effective in the month that the parent verifies a reduction in income or change in household size.

 

(g) Parents of a minor child who do not live with each other shall each pay the contribution required under paragraph (a).  An amount equal to the annual court-ordered child support payment actually paid on behalf of the child receiving services shall be deducted from the adjusted gross income of the parent making the payment prior to calculating the parental contribution under paragraph (b).

 

(h) The contribution under paragraph (b) shall be increased by an additional five percent if the local agency determines that insurance coverage is available but not obtained for the child.  For purposes of this section, "available" means the insurance is a benefit of employment for a family member at an annual cost of no more than five percent of the family's annual income.  For purposes of this section, "insurance" means health and accident insurance coverage, enrollment in a nonprofit health service plan, health maintenance organization, self-insured plan, or preferred provider organization.

 

Parents who have more than one child receiving services shall not be required to pay more than the amount for the child with the highest expenditures.  There shall be no resource contribution from the parents.  The parent shall not be required to pay a contribution in excess of the cost of the services provided to the child, not counting payments made to school districts for education-related services.  Notice of an increase in fee payment must be given at least 30 days before the increased fee is due.

 

(i) The contribution under paragraph (b) shall be reduced by $300 per fiscal year if, in the 12 months prior to July 1:

 

(1) the parent applied for insurance for the child;

 

(2) the insurer denied insurance;

 

(3) the parents submitted a complaint or appeal, in writing to the insurer, submitted a complaint or appeal, in writing, to the commissioner of health or the commissioner of commerce, or litigated the complaint or appeal; and

 

(4) as a result of the dispute, the insurer reversed its decision and granted insurance.

 

For purposes of this section, "insurance" has the meaning given in paragraph (h).

 

A parent who has requested a reduction in the contribution amount under this paragraph shall submit proof in the form and manner prescribed by the commissioner or county agency, including, but not limited to, the insurer's denial of insurance, the written letter or complaint of the parents, court documents, and the written response of the insurer approving insurance.  The determinations of the commissioner or county agency under this paragraph are not rules subject to chapter 14.


Journal of the House - 41st Day - Monday, April 22, 2013 - Top of Page 3687

(j) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), for the period from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2015 2013, the parental contribution shall be computed by applying the following contribution schedule to the adjusted gross income of the natural or adoptive parents:

 

(1) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 100 percent of federal poverty guidelines and less than 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution is $4 per month;

 

(2) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines and less than or equal to 525 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be determined using a sliding fee scale established by the commissioner of human services which begins at one percent of adjusted gross income at 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines and increases to eight percent of adjusted gross income for those with adjusted gross income up to 525 percent of federal poverty guidelines;

 

(3) if the adjusted gross income is greater than 525 percent of federal poverty guidelines and less than 675 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be 9.5 percent of adjusted gross income;

 

(4) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 675 percent of federal poverty guidelines and less than 900 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be determined using a sliding fee scale established by the commissioner of human services which begins at 9.5 percent of adjusted gross income at 675 percent of federal poverty guidelines and increases to 12 percent of adjusted gross income for those with adjusted gross income up to 900 percent of federal poverty guidelines; and

 

(5) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 900 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be 13.5 percent of adjusted gross income.  If the child lives with the parent, the annual adjusted gross income is reduced by $2,400 prior to calculating the parental contribution.  If the child resides in an institution specified in section 256B.35, the parent is responsible for the personal needs allowance specified under that section in addition to the parental contribution determined under this section.  The parental contribution is reduced by any amount required to be paid directly to the child pursuant to a court order, but only if actually paid.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE.  This section is effective June 30, 2013."

"Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 119B.13, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

 

Subdivision 1.  Subsidy restrictions.  (a) Beginning October 31, 2011 July 1, 2013, the maximum rate paid for child care assistance in any county or multicounty region under the child care fund shall be the rate for like-care arrangements in the county effective July 1, 2006 2012, decreased increased by 2.5 two percent.

 

(b) Biennially, beginning in 2012, the commissioner shall survey rates charged by child care providers in Minnesota to determine the 75th percentile for like-care arrangements in counties.  When the commissioner determines that, using the commissioner's established protocol, the number of providers responding to the survey is too small to determine the 75th percentile rate for like-care arrangements in a county or multicounty region, the commissioner may establish the 75th percentile maximum rate based on like-care arrangements in a county, region, or category that the commissioner deems to be similar.

 

(c) A rate which includes a special needs rate paid under subdivision 3 or under a school readiness service agreement paid under section 119B.231, may be in excess of the maximum rate allowed under this subdivision.


Journal of the House - 41st Day - Monday, April 22, 2013 - Top of Page 3689

(d) The department shall monitor the effect of this paragraph on provider rates.  The county shall pay the provider's full charges for every child in care up to the maximum established.  The commissioner shall determine the maximum rate for each type of care on an hourly, full-day, and weekly basis, including special needs and disability care.  The maximum payment to a provider for one day of care must not exceed the daily rate.  The maximum payment to a provider for one week of care must not exceed the weekly rate.

 

(e) Child care providers receiving reimbursement under this chapter must not be paid activity fees or an additional amount above the maximum rates for care provided during nonstandard hours for families receiving assistance.

 

(f) When the provider charge is greater than the maximum provider rate allowed, the parent is responsible for payment of the difference in the rates in addition to any family co-payment fee.

 

(g) All maximum provider rates changes shall be implemented on the Monday following the effective date of the maximum provider rate."
