SB 366 - This act would require that the currently used
trend factor, which holds nursing home providers harmless against
increases in costs, be negotiated between the Department of
Social Services and the providers who receive Title XIX per diem
reimbursement rate payments. The act specifies that the trend
factor to be applied to state funds shall not exceed the Health
Care Finance Administration's Market Basket Price Index for that
year. The provisions of this act shall apply to fiscal year 1996
and thereafter.
