Public Notice regarding Long-Term Care ( March 12, 2025)
Summary
Kentucky Medicaid issued a public notice under 42 CFR 447.205 announcing State Plan changes to long-term care rates effective July 1, 2025. The amendments implement a new quality program funded by the provider assessment and clarify that ancillary services are included in the per diem rate using the Kentucky Medicaid Nursing Facility Ancillary Supplemental Schedules. The estimated fiscal impact is zero.
What this may mean
Kentucky SNFs and nursing facilities will be subject to a provider-assessment-funded quality program and a formal clarification of ancillary services bundling into the per diem rate, effective July 1, 2025. The zero fiscal impact estimate signals this is primarily a structural and programmatic change rather than a rate increase, building on the ancillary bundling introduced in the July 2024 State Plan amendment.
