Nevada Revised Statutes Title 38. Public Welfare § 422.3775. Fee: Payment; amount; allowable cost for Medicaid reimbursement purposes

1. Each nursing facility that is licensed in this State shall pay a fee assessed by the Division to increase the quality of nursing care in this State.

2. To determine the amount of the fee to assess pursuant to this section, the Division shall establish a rate per non-Medicare patient day that is equivalent to a percentage of the total annual accrual basis gross revenue for services provided to patients of all nursing facilities licensed in this State. The percentage used to establish the rate must not exceed that allowed by federal law. For the purposes of this subsection, total annual accrual basis gross revenue does not include charitable contributions received by a nursing facility.

3. The Division shall calculate the fee owed by each nursing facility by multiplying the total number of days of care provided to non-Medicare patients by the nursing facility, as provided to the Division pursuant to NRS 422.378, by the rate established pursuant to subsection 2.

4. A fee assessed pursuant to this section is due 30 days after the end of the month for which the fee was assessed.

5. The payment of a fee to the Division pursuant to NRS 422.3755 to 422.379, inclusive, is an allowable cost for Medicaid reimbursement purposes.
