To ensure compliance with legislative requirements and terms 33 and conditions of the waiver, the authority shall implement the 34 renewal of the 1115 demonstration waiver and reporting requirements 35 with oversight from the office of financial management. The 36 legislature finds that appropriate management of the renewal of the 37 1115 demonstration waiver as set forth in subsections (2), (3), and 38 p. 97 SB 5810 (4) of this section requires sound, consistent, timely, and 1 transparent oversight and analytic review in addition to lack of 2 redundancy with other established measures. The patient must be 3 considered first and foremost in the implementation and execution of 4 the demonstration waiver. To accomplish these goals, the authority 5 shall develop consistent performance measures that focus on 6 population health and health outcomes. The authority shall limit the 7 number of projects that accountable communities of health may 8 participate in under initiative 1 to a maximum of six and shall seek 9 to develop common performance measures when possible. The joint 10 select committee on health care oversight will evaluate the measures 11 chosen: (a) For effectiveness and appropriateness; and (b) to provide 12 patients and health care providers with significant input into the 13 implementation of the demonstration waiver to promote improved 14 population health and patient health outcomes. In cooperation with 15 the department of social and health services, the authority shall 16 consult with and provide notification of work on applications for 17 federal waivers, including details on waiver duration, financial 18 implications, and potential future impacts on the state budget to the 19 joint select committee on health care oversight prior to submitting 20 these waivers for federal approval. Prior to final approval or 21 acceptance of funds by the authority, the authority shall submit the 22 special terms and conditions as submitted to the centers for medicare 23 and medicaid services and the anticipated budget for the duration of 24 the renewed waiver to the governor, the joint select committee on 25 health care, and the fiscal committees of the legislature. By federal 26 standard any programs created or funded by this waiver do not create 27 an entitlement. The demonstration period for the waiver as described 28 in subsections (2), (3), and (4) of this section began July 1, 2023.29 (2)(a) $657,598,000 of the general fund—federal appropriation and 30 $207,273,000 of the general fund —local appropriation are provided 31 solely for accountable communities of health described in initiative 32 1 of the 1115 demonstration waiver and this is the maximum amount 33 that may be expended for this purpose. In renewing this initiative, 34 the authority shall consider local input regarding community needs 35 and shall limit total local projects to no more than six. To provide 36 transparency to the appropriate fiscal committees of the legislature, 37 the authority shall provide fiscal staff of the legislature query 38 ability into any database of the fiscal intermediary that authority 39 staff would be authorized to access. The authority shall not 40 p. 98 SB 5810 supplement the amounts provided in this subsection with any general 1 fund—state moneys appropriated in this section or any moneys that may 2 be transferred pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. The 3 director shall report to the fiscal committees of the legislature all 4 expenditures under this subsection and provide such fiscal data in 5 the time, manner, and form requested by the legislative fiscal 6 committees. 7 (b) $557,333,000 of the general fund —federal appropriation and 8 $227,643,000 of the general fund —private/local appropriation are 9 provided solely for the medicaid quality improvement program and this 10 is the maximum amount that may be expended for this purpose. Medicaid 11 quality improvement program payments do not count against the 1115 12 demonstration waiver spending limits and are excluded from the 13 waiver's budget neutrality calculation. The authority may provide 14 medicaid quality improvement program payments to apple health managed 15 care organizations and their partnering providers as they meet 16 designated milestones. Partnering providers and apple health managed 17 care organizations must work together to achieve medicaid quality 18 improvement program goals according to the performance period 19 timelines and reporting deadlines as set forth by the authority. The 20 authority may only use the medicaid quality improvement program to 21 support initiatives 1, 2, and 3 as described in the 1115 22 demonstration waiver and may not pursue its use for other purposes. 23 Any programs created or funded by the medicaid quality improvement 24 program do not constitute an entitlement for clients or providers. 25 The authority shall not supplement the amounts provided in this 26 subsection with any general fund —state, general fund —federal, or 27 general fund—local moneys appropriated in this section or any moneys 28 that may be transferred pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. 29 The director shall report to the joint select committee on health 30 care oversight not less than quarterly on financial and health 31 outcomes.

While these 7 goals may have variation to account for unique community 8 demographics, measures should be standardized when possible.9 (3) $146,275,000 of the general fund —federal appropriation and 10 $146,290,000 of the general fund —local appropriation are provided 11 solely for long-term support services as described in initiative 2 of 12 the 1115 demonstration waiver as well as administrative expenses for 13 initiative 3 and this is the maximum amount that may be expended for 14 this purpose. The authority shall contract with and provide funding 15 to the department of social and health services to administer 16 initiative 2. The director in cooperation with the secretary of the 17 department of social and health services shall report to the office 18 of financial management all of the expenditures of this section and 19 shall provide such fiscal data in the time, manner, and form 20 requested. The authority shall not supplement the amounts provided in 21 this subsection with any general fund —state moneys appropriated in 22 this section or any moneys that may be transferred pursuant to 23 subsection (1) of this section. 24 (4)(a) $131,704,000 of the general fund—federal appropriation and 25 $58,916,000 of the general fund —local appropriation are provided 26 solely for supported housing and employment services described in 27 initiative 3a and 3b of the 1115 demonstration waiver and this is the 28 maximum amount that may be expended for this purpose. Under this 29 initiative, the authority and the department of social and health 30 services shall ensure that allowable and necessary services are 31 provided to eligible clients as identified by the department or its 32 third-party administrator. The authority and the department, in 33 consultation with the medical assistance expenditure forecast work 34 group, shall ensure that reasonable reimbursements are established 35 for services deemed necessary within an identified limit per 36 individual. The authority shall not supplement the amounts provided 37 in this subsection with any general fund—state moneys appropriated in 38 this section or any moneys that may be transferred pursuant to 39 p. 100 SB 5810 subsection (1) of this section. The director shall report to the 1 joint select committee on health care oversight no less than 2 quarterly on financial and health outcomes. The director shall also 3 report to the fiscal committees of the legislature all of the 4 expenditures of this subsection and shall provide such fiscal data in 5 the time, manner, and form requested by the legislative fiscal 6 committees. 7 (b) $62,475,000 of the general fund —federal appropriation and 8 $44,275,000 of the general fund —local appropriation are provided 9 solely for additional housing supports described in the 1115 10 demonstration waiver and this is the maximum amount that may be 11 expended for this purpose. The authority shall not supplement the 12 amounts provided in this subsection with any general fund —state 13 moneys appropriated in this section or any moneys that may be 14 transferred pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. The director 15 shall report to the joint select committee on health care oversight 16 no less than quarterly on financial and health outcomes. The director 17 shall also report to the fiscal committees of the legislature all of 18 the expenditures of this subsection and shall provide such fiscal 19 data in the time, manner, and form requested by the legislative 20 fiscal committees. 21 (c) The director shall report to the joint select committee on 22 health care oversight no less than quarterly on utilization and 23 caseload statistics for both supportive housing and employment 24 services and its progress toward increasing uptake and availability 25 for these services. 26 (5) $750,000 of the general fund —state appropriation for fiscal 27 year 2026 and $750,000 of the general fund —state appropriation for 28 fiscal year 2027 are provided solely for supported employment 29 services and $750,000 of the general fund —state appropriation for 30 fiscal year 2026 and $750,000 of the general fund—state appropriation 31 for fiscal year 2027 are provided solely for supported housing 32 services, similar to the services described in initiatives 3a and 3b 33 of the 1115 demonstration waiver to individuals who are ineligible 34 for medicaid. Under these initiatives, the authority and the 35 department of social and health services shall ensure that allowable 36 and necessary services are provided to eligible clients as identified 37 by the authority or its third-party administrator. Before authorizing 38 p. 101 SB 5810 services, eligibility for initiative 3a or 3b of the 1115 1 demonstration waiver must first be determined. 2 (6)(a) $4,279,000 of the general fund —state appropriation for 3 fiscal year 2026, $6,107,000 of the general fund —state appropriation 4 for fiscal year 2027, and $66,104,000 of the general fund —federal 5 appropriation are provided solely for prerelease services including, 6 but not limited to, case management, clinical consultations, 7 medication assisted therapy, community health worker services, 30-day 8 supply of medications, durable medical equipment, medications, 9 laboratory services, and radiology services. 10 (b) The authority shall coordinate with the department of 11 corrections for prison reentry implementation pursuant to the waiver 12 terms. The authority will coordinate with tribes, other state 13 agencies, and jail administrations as necessary to achieve the terms 14 of the 1115 medicaid transformation waiver. The authority shall use 15 its statutory reentry advisory work group and subgroups as necessary 16 to coordinate with partners to achieve these goals.17 (7) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this subsection to 18 implement the medicaid expansion as defined in the social security 19 act, section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII). 20 (8) The legislature finds that medicaid payment rates, as 21 calculated by the health care authority pursuant to the 22 appropriations in this act, bear a reasonable relationship to the 23 costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated facilities 24 for providing quality services and will be sufficient to enlist 25 enough providers so that care and services are available to the 26 extent that such care and services are available to the general 27 population in the geographic area. The legislature finds that the 28 cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical 29 utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable 30 data upon which to determine the payment rates. 31 (9) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload 32 forecasts, if the health care authority estimates that expenditures 33 for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, 34 the health care authority shall take steps including but not limited 35 to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce 36 expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual 37 appropriation authority. 38 p. 102 SB 5810 (10) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded 1 services, the health care authority is authorized to disregard 2 recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other 3 assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030. 4 (11) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest 5 for Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable 6 component of the state's health care system. 7 (12) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of 8 residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care 9 authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or 10 she would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to 11 the extent necessary. 12 (13) $4,261,000 of the general fund —state appropriation for 13 fiscal year 2026, $4,261,000 of the general fund —state appropriation 14 for fiscal year 2027, and $8,522,000 of the general fund —federal 15 appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate 16 share hospital payments. 17 (14) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health 18 care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments 19 to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's 20 health program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or 21 XXI of the federal social security act due to their citizenship 22 status. 23 (15) $7,000,000 of the general fund —federal appropriation is 24 provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated 25 by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be 26 responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the 27 supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum 28 allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that 29 the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset 30 or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with 31 part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent 32 that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement 33 against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed 34 solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the 35 nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental 36 payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost 37 settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare 38 cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements 39 p. 103 SB 5810 shall be at the health care authority's discretion. During either the 1 interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the health care 2 authority shall recoup from the public hospital districts the 3 supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the 4 medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority shall apply 5 federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs 6 and the medicare upper payment limit. 7 (16) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient 8 hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2025-2027 9 fiscal biennium. The program shall apply to all public hospitals, 10 including those owned or operated by the state, except those 11 classified as critical access hospitals or state psychiatric 12 institutions. The health care authority shall submit reports to the 13 governor and legislature by November 1st of each fiscal year that 14 evaluate whether savings continue to exceed costs for this program. 15 If the certified public expenditures (CPE) program in its current 16 form is no longer cost-effective to maintain, the health care 17 authority shall submit a report to the governor and legislature 18 detailing cost-effective alternative uses of local, state, and 19 federal resources as a replacement for this program. During fiscal 20 year 2026 and fiscal year 2027, hospitals in the program shall be 21 paid and shall retain 100 percent of the federal portion of the 22 allowable hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service 23 claim payable by medical assistance and 100 percent of the federal 24 portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment 25 allowable under federal regulations. For the purpose of determining 26 the amount of any state grant under this subsection, payments will 27 include the federal portion of medicaid program supplemental payments 28 received by the hospitals. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be 29 established using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost 30 of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital 31 in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared 32 to a baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the 33 total of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been 34 paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE 35 program based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and 36 consistent with policies approved in the 2025-2027 biennial operating 37 appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2015, (b) one-half of the 38 indigent assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts 39 paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and 40 p. 104 SB 5810 (c) all of the other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts 1 paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the 2 extent the same disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 3 2019-2021 fiscal biennium. If payments during the fiscal year exceed 4 the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made 5 to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable 6 disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can 7 certify allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less 8 than the baseline amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant 9 equal to the difference between payments during the fiscal year and 10 the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant shall be 11 made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in monthly 12 payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the 13 baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are 14 subject to an interim settlement within 11 months after the end of 15 the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be performed. To the extent 16 that either settlement determines that a hospital has received funds 17 in excess of what it would have received as described in this 18 subsection, the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the state 19 when requested. 20 (17) The health care authority shall seek public-private 21 partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to 22 provide ongoing support for outreach and education efforts under the 23 federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of 24 2009. 25 (18) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity 26 support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to 27 higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a 28 preterm or low birth weight birth in the most recent previous birth, 29 a cognitive deficit or developmental disability, substance abuse, 30 severe mental illness, unhealthy weight or failure to gain weight, 31 tobacco use, or African American or Native American race.

Verification of correction of all other violations may be 17 made by either a department on-site revisit or by written or 18 photographic documentation found by the department to be credible. 19 This subsection does not prevent the department from enforcing 20 license suspensions or revocations. Nothing in this subsection shall 21 interfere with or diminish the department's authority and duty to 22 ensure that the provider adequately cares for residents, including to 23 make departmental on-site revisits as needed to ensure that the 24 provider protects residents, and to enforce compliance with this 25 chapter. 26 (5) Chapter 34.05 RCW applies to department actions under this 27 section, except that orders of the department imposing license 28 suspension, stop placement, or conditions for continuation of a 29 license are effective immediately upon notice and shall continue in 30 effect pending a hearing, which must commence no later than sixty 31 days after receipt of a request for a hearing. The time for 32 commencement of a hearing may be extended by agreement of the parties 33 or by the presiding officer for good cause shown by either party, but 34 must commence no later than one hundred twenty days after receipt of 35 a request for a hearing. 36 (6) A separate adult family home account is created in the 37 custody of the state treasurer. All receipts from civil penalties 38 imposed under this chapter must be deposited into the account. Only 39 the director or the director's designee may authorize expenditures 40 p. 403 SB 5810 from the account. The account is subject to allotment procedures 1 under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not required for 2 expenditures. The department shall use the special account only for 3 promoting the quality of life and care of residents living in adult 4 family homes. During the ((2015-2017)) 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, the 5 account may be expended for funding costs associated with the adult 6 family home program. 7 (7) The department shall by rule specify criteria as to when and 8 how the sanctions specified in this section must be applied. The 9 criteria must provide for the imposition of incrementally more severe 10 penalties for deficiencies that are repeated, uncorrected, pervasive, 11 or present a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of one or more 12 residents. The criteria shall be tiered such that those homes 13 consistently found to have deficiencies will be subjected to 14 increasingly severe penalties. The department shall implement prompt 15 and specific enforcement remedies without delay for providers found 16 to have delivered care or failed to deliver care resulting in 17 problems that are repeated, uncorrected, pervasive, or present a 18 threat to the health, safety, or welfare of one or more residents. In 19 the selection of remedies, the health, safety, and well-being of 20 residents must be of paramount importance. 21 Sec. 945. RCW 74.46.561 and 2023 c 475 s 942 are each amended to 22 read as follows: 23 (1) The legislature adopts a new system for establishing nursing 24 home payment rates beginning July 1, 2016. Any payments to nursing 25 homes for services provided after June 30, 2016, must be based on the 26 new system. The new system must be designed in such a manner as to 27 decrease administrative complexity associated with the payment 28 methodology, reward nursing homes providing care for high acuity 29 residents, incentivize quality care for residents of nursing homes, 30 and establish minimum staffing standards for direct care.31 (2) The new system must be based primarily on industry-wide 32 costs, and have three main components: Direct care, indirect care, 33 and capital. 34 (3)(a) The direct care component must include the direct care and 35 therapy care components of the previous system, along with food, 36 laundry, and dietary services. Except as provided in (b) of this 37 subsection, direct care must be paid at a fixed rate, based on one 38 hundred percent or greater of statewide case mix neutral median 39 p. 404 SB 5810 costs, but shall be capped so that a nursing home provider's direct 1 care rate does not exceed 118 percent of its base year's direct care 2 allowable costs except if the provider is below the minimum staffing 3 standard established in RCW 74.42.360(2). Direct care must be 4 performance-adjusted for acuity every six months, using case mix 5 principles. Direct care must be regionally adjusted using countywide 6 wage index information available through the United States department 7 of labor's bureau of labor statistics. There is no minimum occupancy 8 for direct care. The direct care component rate allocations 9 calculated in accordance with this section must be adjusted to the 10 extent necessary to comply with RCW 74.46.421. 11 (b) Unless a nursing home provider is below the minimum staffing 12 standard established in RCW 74.42.360(2), a provider's direct care 13 rate relative to its base year's direct care allowable costs must be 14 capped as follows: 15 (i) For fiscal year 2023, the cap must not exceed 165 percent;16 (ii) For fiscal year 2024, the cap must not exceed 153 percent; 17 and 18 (iii) For fiscal year 2025, the cap must not exceed 142 percent.19 (4)(a) The indirect care component must include the elements of 20 administrative expenses, maintenance costs, and housekeeping services 21 from the previous system. Except as provided in (b) of this 22 subsection, a minimum occupancy assumption of ninety percent must be 23 applied to indirect care. Indirect care must be paid at a fixed rate, 24 based on ninety percent or greater of statewide median costs. The 25 indirect care component rate allocations calculated in accordance 26 with this section must be adjusted to the extent necessary to comply 27 with RCW 74.46.421. 28 (b) A minimum occupancy assumption must be applied to indirect 29 care as follows: 30 (i) For fiscal year 2023, the assumption must be 75 percent;31 (ii) For fiscal year 2024, the assumption must be 80 percent; and32 (iii) For fiscal year 2025, the assumption must be 80 percent.33 (5) The capital component must use a fair market rental system to 34 set a price per bed. The capital component must be adjusted for the 35 age of the facility, and must use a minimum occupancy assumption of 36 ninety percent. 37 (a) Beginning July 1, 2016, the fair rental rate allocation for 38 each facility must be determined by multiplying the allowable nursing 39 home square footage in (c) of this subsection by the RSMeans rental 40 p. 405 SB 5810 rate in (d) of this subsection and by the number of licensed beds 1 yielding the gross unadjusted building value. An equipment allowance 2 of ten percent must be added to the unadjusted building value. The 3 sum of the unadjusted building value and equipment allowance must 4 then be reduced by the average age of the facility as determined by 5 (e) of this subsection using a depreciation rate of one and one-half 6 percent. The depreciated building and equipment plus land valued at 7 ten percent of the gross unadjusted building value before 8 depreciation must then be multiplied by the rental rate at seven and 9 one-half percent to yield an allowable fair rental value for the 10 land, building, and equipment. 11 (b) The fair rental value determined in (a) of this subsection 12 must be divided by the greater of the actual total facility census 13 from the prior full calendar year or imputed census based on the 14 number of licensed beds at ninety percent occupancy.15 (c) For the rate year beginning July 1, 2016, all facilities must 16 be reimbursed using four hundred square feet. For the rate year 17 beginning July 1, 2017, allowable nursing facility square footage 18 must be determined using the total nursing facility square footage as 19 reported on the medicaid cost reports submitted to the department in 20 compliance with this chapter. The maximum allowable square feet per 21 bed may not exceed four hundred fifty. 22 (d) Each facility must be paid at eighty-three percent or greater 23 of the median nursing facility RSMeans construction index value per 24 square foot. The department may use updated RSMeans construction 25 index information when more recent square footage data becomes 26 available. The statewide value per square foot must be indexed based 27 on facility zip code by multiplying the statewide value per square 28 foot times the appropriate zip code based index. For the purpose of 29 implementing this section, the value per square foot effective July 30 1, 2016, must be set so that the weighted average fair rental value 31 rate is not less than ten dollars and eighty cents per patient day. 32 The capital component rate allocations calculated in accordance with 33 this section must be adjusted to the extent necessary to comply with 34 RCW 74.46.421. 35 (e) The average age is the actual facility age reduced for 36 significant renovations. Significant renovations are defined as those 37 renovations that exceed two thousand dollars per bed in a calendar 38 year as reported on the annual cost report submitted in accordance 39 with this chapter. For the rate beginning July 1, 2016, the 40 p. 406 SB 5810 department shall use renovation data back to 1994 as submitted on 1 facility cost reports. Beginning July 1, 2016, facility ages must be 2 reduced in future years if the value of the renovation completed in 3 any year exceeds two thousand dollars times the number of licensed 4 beds. The cost of the renovation must be divided by the accumulated 5 depreciation per bed in the year of the renovation to determine the 6 equivalent number of new replacement beds. The new age for the 7 facility is a weighted average with the replacement bed equivalents 8 reflecting an age of zero and the existing licensed beds, minus the 9 new bed equivalents, reflecting their age in the year of the 10 renovation. At no time may the depreciated age be less than zero or 11 greater than forty-four years. 12 (f) A nursing facility's capital component rate allocation must 13 be rebased annually, effective July 1, 2016, in accordance with this 14 section and this chapter. 15 (g) For the purposes of this subsection (5), "RSMeans" means 16 building construction costs data as published by Gordian.17 (6) A quality incentive must be offered as a rate enhancement 18 beginning July 1, 2016. 19 (a) An enhancement no larger than five percent and no less than 20 one percent of the statewide average daily rate must be paid to 21 facilities that meet or exceed the standard established for the 22 quality incentive. All providers must have the opportunity to earn 23 the full quality incentive payment. 24 (b) The quality incentive component must be determined by 25 calculating an overall facility quality score composed of four to six 26 quality measures. For fiscal year 2017 there shall be four quality 27 measures, and for fiscal year 2018 there shall be six quality 28 measures. Initially, the quality incentive component must be based on 29 minimum data set quality measures for the percentage of long-stay 30 residents who self-report moderate to severe pain, the percentage of 31 high-risk long-stay residents with pressure ulcers, the percentage of 32 long-stay residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, 33 and the percentage of long-stay residents with a urinary tract 34 infection. Quality measures must be reviewed on an annual basis by a 35 stakeholder work group established by the department. Upon review, 36 quality measures may be added or changed. The department may risk 37 adjust individual quality measures as it deems appropriate.38 (c) The facility quality score must be point based, using at a 39 minimum the facility's most recent available three-quarter average 40 p. 407 SB 5810 centers for medicare and medicaid services quality data. Point 1 thresholds for each quality measure must be established using the 2 corresponding statistical values for the quality measure point 3 determinants of eighty quality measure points, sixty quality measure 4 points, forty quality measure points, and twenty quality measure 5 points, identified in the most recent available five-star quality 6 rating system technical user's guide published by the centers for 7 medicare and medicaid services. 8 (d) Facilities meeting or exceeding the highest performance 9 threshold (top level) for a quality measure receive twenty-five 10 points. Facilities meeting the second highest performance threshold 11 receive twenty points. Facilities meeting the third level of 12 performance threshold receive fifteen points. Facilities in the 13 bottom performance threshold level receive no points. Points from all 14 quality measures must then be summed into a single aggregate quality 15 score for each facility. 16 (e) Facilities receiving an aggregate quality score of eighty 17 percent of the overall available total score or higher must be placed 18 in the highest tier (tier V), facilities receiving an aggregate score 19 of between seventy and seventy-nine percent of the overall available 20 total score must be placed in the second highest tier (tier IV), 21 facilities receiving an aggregate score of between sixty and sixty-22 nine percent of the overall available total score must be placed in 23 the third highest tier (tier III), facilities receiving an aggregate 24 score of between fifty and fifty-nine percent of the overall 25 available total score must be placed in the fourth highest tier (tier 26 II), and facilities receiving less than fifty percent of the overall 27 available total score must be placed in the lowest tier (tier I).28 (f) The tier system must be used to determine the amount of each 29 facility's per patient day quality incentive component. The per 30 patient day quality incentive component for tier IV is seventy-five 31 percent of the per patient day quality incentive component for tier 32 V, the per patient day quality incentive component for tier III is 33 fifty percent of the per patient day quality incentive component for 34 tier V, and the per patient day quality incentive component for tier 35 II is twenty-five percent of the per patient day quality incentive 36 component for tier V. Facilities in tier I receive no quality 37 incentive component. 38 p. 408 SB 5810 (g) Tier system payments must be set in a manner that ensures 1 that the entire biennial appropriation for the quality incentive 2 program is allocated. 3 (h) Facilities with insufficient three-quarter average centers 4 for medicare and medicaid services quality data must be assigned to 5 the tier corresponding to their five-star quality rating. Facilities 6 with a five-star quality rating must be assigned to the highest tier 7 (tier V) and facilities with a one-star quality rating must be 8 assigned to the lowest tier (tier I). The use of a facility's five-9 star quality rating shall only occur in the case of insufficient 10 centers for medicare and medicaid services minimum data set 11 information. 12 (i) The quality incentive rates must be adjusted semiannually on 13 July 1 and January 1 of each year using, at a minimum, the most 14 recent available three-quarter average centers for medicare and 15 medicaid services quality data. 16 (j) Beginning July 1, 2017, the percentage of short-stay 17 residents who newly received an antipsychotic medication must be 18 added as a quality measure. The department must determine the quality 19 incentive thresholds for this quality measure in a manner consistent 20 with those outlined in (b) through (h) of this subsection using the 21 centers for medicare and medicaid services quality data.22 (k) Beginning July 1, 2017, the percentage of direct care staff 23 turnover must be added as a quality measure using the centers for 24 medicare and medicaid services' payroll-based journal and nursing 25 home facility payroll data. Turnover is defined as an employee 26 departure. The department must determine the quality incentive 27 thresholds for this quality measure using data from the centers for 28 medicare and medicaid services' payroll-based journal, unless such 29 data is not available, in which case the department shall use direct 30 care staffing turnover data from the most recent medicaid cost 31 report. 32 (7) Reimbursement of the safety net assessment imposed by chapter 33 74.48 RCW and paid in relation to medicaid residents must be 34 continued. 35 (8)(a) ((The)) Except as provided in (c) of this subsection, the 36 direct care and indirect care components must be rebased in even-37 numbered years, beginning with rates paid on July 1, 2016. Rates paid 38 on July 1, 2016, must be based on the 2014 calendar year cost report. 39 On a percentage basis, after rebasing, the department must confirm 40 p. 409 SB 5810 that the statewide average daily rate has increased at least as much 1 as the average rate of inflation, as determined by the skilled 2 nursing facility market basket index published by the centers for 3 medicare and medicaid services, or a comparable index. If after 4 rebasing, the percentage increase to the statewide average daily rate 5 is less than the average rate of inflation for the same time period, 6 the department is authorized to increase rates by the difference 7 between the percentage increase after rebasing and the average rate 8 of inflation. 9 (b) It is the intention of the legislature that direct and 10 indirect care rates paid in fiscal year 2022 will be rebased using 11 the calendar year 2019 cost reports. For fiscal year 2021, in 12 addition to the rates generated by (a) of this subsection, an 13 additional adjustment is provided as established in this subsection 14 (8)(b). Beginning May 1, 2020, and through June 30, 2021, the 15 calendar year costs must be adjusted for inflation by a twenty-four 16 month consumer price index, based on the most recently available 17 monthly index for all urban consumers, as published by the bureau of 18 labor statistics. It is also the intent of the legislature that, 19 starting in fiscal year 2022, a facility-specific rate add-on equal 20 to the inflation adjustment that facilities received solely in fiscal 21 year 2021, must be added to the rate. For fiscal year 2024, the 22 direct care and indirect care components shall be rebased to the 2021 23 calendar year cost report plus a 4.7 percent adjustment for 24 inflation. For fiscal year 2025, the direct and indirect care 25 components shall be rebased to the 2022 calendar year cost report 26 plus a five percent adjustment for inflation. 27 (c) ((To determine the necessity of regular inflationary 28 adjustments to the nursing facility rates, by December 1, 2020, the 29 department shall provide the appropriate policy and fiscal committees 30 of the legislature with a report that provides a review of rates paid 31 in 2017, 2018, and 2019 in comparison to costs incurred by nursing 32 facilities.)) The direct and indirect care components shall not be 33 rebased on July 1, 2026. It is the intention of the legislature that 34 the direct and indirect care components will be rebased on July 1, 35 2027, using the calendar year 2024 cost reports. The department shall 36 apply a facility-specific rate add-on to help mitigate impacts from 37 the delay in the rebase in an amount that ensures that the weighted 38 average nursing facility payment rate referenced in the omnibus 39 p. 410 SB 5810 appropriations act for fiscal year 2025 remains in effect in fiscal 1 years 2026 and 2027. 2 (9) The direct care component provided in subsection (3) of this 3 section is subject to the reconciliation and settlement process 4 provided in RCW 74.46.022(6). Beginning July 1, 2016, pursuant to 5 rules established by the department, funds that are received through 6 the reconciliation and settlement process provided in RCW 7 74.46.022(6) must be used for technical assistance, specialized 8 training, or an increase to the quality enhancement established in 9 subsection (6) of this section. The legislature intends to review the 10 utility of maintaining the reconciliation and settlement process 11 under a price-based payment methodology, and may discontinue the 12 reconciliation and settlement process after the 2017-2019 fiscal 13 biennium. 14 (10) Compared to the rate in effect June 30, 2016, including all 15 cost components and rate add-ons, no facility may receive a rate 16 reduction of more than one percent on July 1, 2016, more than two 17 percent on July 1, 2017, or more than five percent on July 1, 2018. 18 To ensure that the appropriation for nursing homes remains cost 19 neutral, the department is authorized to cap the rate increase for 20 facilities in fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 2019. 21 (((11) It is the intent of the legislature that a rate add-on be 22 applied to the weighted average nursing facility payment rate 23 referenced in the omnibus operating appropriations act in an amount 24 necessary to ensure that the weighted average nursing facility 25 payment rate for fiscal year 2026 is equal to the weighted average 26 nursing facility payment rate for fiscal year 2025.))27 Sec. 946. RCW 74.46.581 and 2016 c 131 s 7 are each amended to 28 read as follows: 29 A separate nursing facility quality enhancement account is 30 created in the custody of the state treasurer. Beginning July 1, 31 2015, all net receipts from the reconciliation and settlement process 32 provided in RCW 74.46.022(6), as described within RCW 74.46.561, must 33 be deposited into the account. Beginning July 1, 2016, all receipts 34 from the system of financial penalties for facilities out of 35 compliance with minimum staffing standards, as described within RCW 36 74.42.360, must be deposited into the account. Only the secretary, or 37 the secretary's designee, may authorize expenditures from the 38 account. The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 39 p. 411 SB 5810 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not required for expenditures. 1 ((The)) Except during the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, the department 2 shall use the special account only for technical assistance for 3 nursing facilities, specialized training for nursing facilities, or 4 an increase to the quality enhancement established in RCW 74.46.561, 5 or as necessary for the reconciliation and settlement process, which 6 requires deposits and withdrawals to complete both the preliminary 7 and final settlement net receipt amounts for this account. During the 8 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, expenditures from the account may be 9 utilized for funding costs associated with nursing facilities.10 Sec. 947. RCW 79.64.040 and 2023 c 475 s 943 are each amended to 11 read as follows: 12 (1) The board shall determine the amount deemed necessary in 13 order to achieve the purposes of this chapter and shall provide by 14 rule for the deduction of this amount from the moneys received from 15 all leases, sales, contracts, licenses, permits, easements, and 16 rights-of-way issued by the department and affecting state lands and 17 aquatic lands, except as provided in RCW 79.64.130, provided that no 18 deduction shall be made from the proceeds from agricultural college 19 lands. 20 (2) Moneys received as deposits from successful bidders, advance 21 payments, and security under RCW 79.15.100, 79.15.080, and 79.11.150 22 prior to December 1, 1981, which have not been subjected to deduction 23 under this section are not subject to deduction under this section.24 (3) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (5) of this 25 section, the deductions authorized under this section shall not 26 exceed twenty-five percent of the moneys received by the department 27 in connection with any one transaction pertaining to state lands and 28 aquatic lands other than second-class tide and shore lands and the 29 beds of navigable waters, and fifty percent of the moneys received by 30 the department pertaining to second-class tide and shore lands and 31 the beds of navigable waters. 32 (4) In the event that the department sells logs using the 33 contract harvesting process described in RCW 79.15.500 through 34 79.15.530, the moneys received subject to this section are the net 35 proceeds from the contract harvesting sale. 36 (5) During the 2015-2017, 2017-2019, 2019-2021, 2021-2023, 37 ((and)) 2023-2025, and 2025-2027 fiscal biennia, the board may 38 increase the twenty-five percent limitation up to thirty-two percent.39 p. 412 SB 5810 Sec. 948. RCW 79.64.110 and 2023 c 475 s 944 and 2023 c 383 s 8 1 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows: 2 (1) Any moneys derived from the lease of state forestlands or 3 from the sale of valuable materials, oils, gases, coal, minerals, or 4 fossils from those lands, except as provided in RCW 79.64.130, or the 5 appraised value of these resources when transferred to a public 6 agency under RCW 79.22.060, must be distributed as follows:7 (a) For state forestlands acquired through RCW 79.22.040 or by 8 exchange or as replacement for lands acquired through RCW 79.22.040:9 (i) The expense incurred by the state for administration, 10 reforestation, and protection, not to exceed 25 percent, which rate 11 of percentage shall be determined by the board, must be returned to 12 the forest development account created in RCW 79.64.100. During the 13 2017-2019, 2019-2021, 2021-2023, ((and)) 2023-2025, and 2025-2027 14 fiscal biennia, the board may increase the 25 percent limitation up 15 to 27 percent. 16 (ii) Any balance remaining must be paid to the county in which 17 the land is located or, if the land acquired under RCW 79.22.040 was 18 exchanged, transferred, or disposed, payment must be made to the 19 county from which the land was exchanged, transferred, or disposed. 20 For counties participating in a land pool created under RCW 21 79.22.140, to each participating county proportionate to its 22 contribution of asset value to the land pool as determined by the 23 board. Payments made under this subsection are to be paid, 24 distributed, and prorated to the various funds in the same manner as 25 general taxes are paid and distributed during the year of payment. 26 However, a county may in its discretion pay, distribute, and prorate 27 payments made under this subsection of moneys derived from state 28 forestlands acquired by exchange or as replacement lands, for lands 29 acquired through RCW 79.22.040, in the same manner as general taxes 30 are paid and distributed during the year of payment for the former 31 state forestlands that were subject to the exchange.32 (iii) Any balance remaining, paid to a county with a population 33 of less than 16,000, must first be applied to the reduction of any 34 indebtedness existing in the current expense fund of the county 35 during the year of payment. 36 (iv) With regard to moneys remaining under this subsection 37 (1)(a), within seven working days of receipt of these moneys, the 38 department shall certify to the state treasurer the amounts to be 39 distributed to the counties. The state treasurer shall distribute 40 p. 413 SB 5810 funds to the counties four times per month, with no more than 10 days 1 between each payment date. 2 (b) For state forestlands acquired through RCW 79.22.010 or by 3 exchange or as replacement lands for lands acquired through RCW 4 79.22.010, except as provided in RCW 79.64.120: 5 (i) Fifty percent shall be placed in the forest development 6 account. 7 (ii) Fifty percent shall be prorated and distributed to the state 8 general fund, to be dedicated for the benefit of the public schools, 9 to the county in which the land is located or, for counties 10 participating in a land pool created under RCW 79.22.140, to each 11 participating county proportionate to its contribution of asset value 12 to the land pool as determined by the board, and according to the 13 relative proportions of tax levies of all taxing districts in the 14 county.

Appropriations made in this act to the 8 department of social and health services shall initially be allotted 9 as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not 10 include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as 11 expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications 12 permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be 13 used for other than that purpose. 14 (2) The department of social and health services shall not 15 initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund 16 moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The 17 department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 18 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the 19 federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the 20 program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the 21 department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those 22 moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any 23 other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal 24 amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse.

The coalition, led by the health care authority, must be 40 p. 599 SB 5810 a multi-organization collaborative that provides strategic direction 1 and federal funding guidance for projects that have cross-2 organizational or enterprise impact, including information technology 3 projects that affect organizations within the coalition. The office 4 of the chief information officer shall maintain a statewide 5 perspective when collaborating with the coalition to ensure that 6 projects are planned for in a manner that ensures the efficient use 7 of state resources, support the adoption of a cohesive technology and 8 data architecture, and maximize federal financial participation. The 9 work of the coalition is subject to the conditions, limitations, and 10 review provided in section 701 of this act. 11 (8)(a) The appropriations to the department of social and health 12 services in this act must be expended for the programs and in the 13 amounts specified in this act.

The legislature finds that the 13 cost reports, payment data from the federal government, historical 14 utilization, economic data, and clinical input constitute reliable 15 data upon which to determine the payment rates. 16 (8) Based on quarterly expenditure reports and caseload 17 forecasts, if the health care authority estimates that expenditures 18 for the medical assistance program will exceed the appropriations, 19 the health care authority shall take steps including but not limited 20 to reduction of rates or elimination of optional services to reduce 21 expenditures so that total program costs do not exceed the annual 22 appropriation authority. 23 (9) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded 24 services, the health care authority is authorized to disregard 25 recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other 26 assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030. 27 (10) The legislature affirms that it is in the state's interest 28 for Harborview medical center to remain an economically viable 29 component of the state's health care system. 30 (11) When a person is ineligible for medicaid solely by reason of 31 residence in an institution for mental diseases, the health care 32 authority shall provide the person with the same benefits as he or 33 she would receive if eligible for medicaid, using state-only funds to 34 the extent necessary. 35 (12) $4,261,000 of the general fund —state appropriation for 36 fiscal year 2024, $4,261,000 of the general fund —state appropriation 37 for fiscal year 2025, and $8,522,000 of the general fund —federal 38 p. 681 SB 5810 appropriation are provided solely for low-income disproportionate 1 share hospital payments. 2 (13) Within the amounts appropriated in this section, the health 3 care authority shall provide disproportionate share hospital payments 4 to hospitals that provide services to children in the children's 5 health program who are not eligible for services under Title XIX or 6 XXI of the federal social security act due to their citizenship 7 status. 8 (14) $7,000,000 of the general fund —federal appropriation is 9 provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated 10 by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be 11 responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the 12 supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum 13 allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that 14 the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset 15 or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with 16 part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent 17 that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement 18 against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed 19 solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the 20 nursing home from these supplemental payments. The supplemental 21 payments are subject to retrospective interim and final cost 22 settlements based on the nursing homes' as-filed and final medicare 23 cost reports. The timing of the interim and final cost settlements 24 shall be at the health care authority's discretion. During either the 25 interim cost settlement or the final cost settlement, the health care 26 authority shall recoup from the public hospital districts the 27 supplemental payments that exceed the medicaid cost limit and/or the 28 medicare upper payment limit. The health care authority shall apply 29 federal rules for identifying the eligible incurred medicaid costs 30 and the medicare upper payment limit. 31 (15) The health care authority shall continue the inpatient 32 hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2023-2025 33 fiscal biennium.

During fiscal 4 year 2024 and fiscal year 2025, hospitals in the program shall be 5 paid and shall retain 100 percent of the federal portion of the 6 allowable hospital cost for each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service 7 claim payable by medical assistance and 100 percent of the federal 8 portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment 9 allowable under federal regulations. For the purpose of determining 10 the amount of any state grant under this subsection, payments will 11 include the federal portion of medicaid program supplemental payments 12 received by the hospitals. Inpatient medicaid payments shall be 13 established using an allowable methodology that approximates the cost 14 of claims submitted by the hospitals. Payments made to each hospital 15 in the program in each fiscal year of the biennium shall be compared 16 to a baseline amount. The baseline amount will be determined by the 17 total of (a) the inpatient claim payment amounts that would have been 18 paid during the fiscal year had the hospital not been in the CPE 19 program based on the reimbursement rates developed, implemented, and 20 consistent with policies approved in the 2023-2025 biennial operating 21 appropriations act and in effect on July 1, 2015, (b) one-half of the 22 indigent assistance disproportionate share hospital payment amounts 23 paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005, and 24 (c) all of the other disproportionate share hospital payment amounts 25 paid to and retained by each hospital during fiscal year 2005 to the 26 extent the same disproportionate share hospital programs exist in the 27 2019-2021 fiscal biennium. If payments during the fiscal year exceed 28 the hospital's baseline amount, no additional payments will be made 29 to the hospital except the federal portion of allowable 30 disproportionate share hospital payments for which the hospital can 31 certify allowable match. If payments during the fiscal year are less 32 than the baseline amount, the hospital will be paid a state grant 33 equal to the difference between payments during the fiscal year and 34 the applicable baseline amount. Payment of the state grant shall be 35 made in the applicable fiscal year and distributed in monthly 36 payments. The grants will be recalculated and redistributed as the 37 baseline is updated during the fiscal year. The grant payments are 38 subject to an interim settlement within 11 months after the end of 39 the fiscal year. A final settlement shall be performed. To the extent 40 p. 683 SB 5810 that either settlement determines that a hospital has received funds 1 in excess of what it would have received as described in this 2 subsection, the hospital must repay the excess amounts to the state 3 when requested. 4 (16) The health care authority shall seek public-private 5 partnerships and federal funds that are or may become available to 6 provide ongoing support for outreach and education efforts under the 7 federal children's health insurance program reauthorization act of 8 2009. 9 (17) The health care authority shall target funding for maternity 10 support services towards pregnant women with factors that lead to 11 higher rates of poor birth outcomes, including hypertension, a 12 preterm or low birth weight birth in the most recent previous birth, 13 a cognitive deficit or developmental disability, substance abuse, 14 severe mental illness, unhealthy weight or failure to gain weight, 15 tobacco use, or African American or Native American race. The health 16 care authority shall prioritize evidence-based practices for delivery 17 of maternity support services.
