CMS Issues Informational Bulletin on Medicaid Reimbursement Strategies to Prevent Spread of COVID-19 in Nursing Facilities


Posted on: 8/25/2020

On Monday, August 24, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a Medicaid Informational Bulletin (CIB) that provides guidance to states on flexibilities that are available to increase reimbursement for nursing facilities that implement specific infection control practices, such as designating a quarantine or isolation wing for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

The CIB includes information on the Disaster State Plan Amendments (SPA) template and describes how states may use state-directed payments to increase reimbursement to nursing facilities in managed care. Today’s release encourages states to utilize the flexibilities that are available and in alignment with applicable Centers for Disease Control guidance and coordinated with the state agency responsible for nursing facility compliance.
