Subacute Care Facilities

Adult Subacute Care

Subacute care providers are grouped into two statewide peer groups, one being hospital-based providers, and the other being freestanding nursing facility providers.  These peer groups are further broken down into ventilator and non-ventilator-patient reimbursement categories. Providers comprising both peer groups are reimbursed their projected costs up to the median, regardless of whether reimbursement is for ventilator or non-ventilator patients.

Upon expiration of the public health emergency or national emergency, whichever occurs first, reimbursements will revert to their standard per diem rates. The Department will post an update on the Long Term Care Reimbursement webpage to inform providers of the expiration of the emergency period and the corresponding expiration of the additional reimbursement.
