Nursing Home Levels of Care: Reimbursement of Resident Specific Costs
The companion paper on nursing home levels of care (Bishop, Plough and Willemain, 1980) recommended a “split-rate” approach to nursing home reimbursement that would distinguish between fixed and variable costs. This paper examines three alternative treatments of the variable cost component of the ra...

Original Research Article The companion paper on nursing home levels of care (Bishop, Plough and Willemain, 1980) recommended a “split-rate” approach to nursing home reimbursement that would distinguish between fixed and variable costs. This paper examines three alternative treatments of the variable cost component of the rate: a two-level system similar to the distinction between skilled and intermediate care facilities, an individualized (“patient-centered”) system, and a system that assigns a single facility-specific rate that depends on the facility's case-mix (“case-mix reimbursement”). The aim is to better understand the theoretical strengths and weaknesses of these three approaches. CENTERS for MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES 1980 /pmc/articles/PMC4191142/ /pubmed/10309330 Text en |

The companion paper on nursing home levels of care (Bishop, Plough and Willemain, 1980) recommended a “split-rate” approach to nursing home reimbursement that would distinguish between fixed and variable costs. This paper examines three alternative treatments of the variable cost component of the rate: a two-level system similar to the distinction between skilled and intermediate care facilities, an individualized (“patient-centered”) system, and a system that assigns a single facility-specific rate that depends on the facility's case-mix (“case-mix reimbursement”). The aim is to better understand the theoretical strengths and weaknesses of these three approaches. |
