{"data":{"id":"us-co/c.r.s.-25.5-6-204","jurisdiction":"us-co","citation":"C.R.S. § 25.5-6-204","heading":"Providers - reimbursement - intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities - reimbursement - maximum allowable.","body":"(1) (a) For the purpose of making payments to intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities, the state department shall establish a price schedule to be readjusted every twelve months, that shall reimburse, subject to available appropriations, each provider, as nearly as possible, for its actual or reasonable cost of services rendered, whichever is less, its case-mix adjusted direct health-care services costs as defined in section 25.5-6-201 (9), and a fair rental allowance for capital-related assets as defined in section 25.5-6-201 (7). The state board shall adopt rules, including uniform accounting or reporting procedures, in order to determine the actual or reasonable cost of services and case-mix adjusted direct health-care services costs and the reimbursement therefor. The provisions of this paragraph (a) shall not apply to state-operated intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.\n\n(b) State-operated intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities shall be reimbursed based on the actual costs of administration, property, including capital-related assets, and room and board, and the actual costs of providing health-care services, and such costs shall be projected by such facilities and submitted to the state department by July 1 of each year for the ensuing twelve-month period. Reimbursement to state-operated intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities shall be adjusted retrospectively at the close of each twelve-month period. The state board shall adopt rules to be effective by June 30, 1988, implementing the provisions of this paragraph (b). In the implementation of such rules, the state department shall ensure, by the establishment of classes of facilities, that the reimbursement to private, nonprofit, or proprietary state-operated intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities, as defined in section 25.5-10-202, is not adversely impacted.\n\n(c) Repealed.\n\n(2) (a) In addition to the actual or reasonable costs and the reimbursement therefor, the state department shall, subject to available appropriations, include an allowance equal to the change in the national bureau of labor statistics consumer price index from the preceding year to compensate for fluctuating costs. This amount shall be determined every twelve months when the statewide average cost is determined by adjusting for inflation. The provider's allowable cost shall be multiplied by the change in the consumer price index measured from the midpoint of the provider's cost report period to the midpoint of the provider's rate period. This allowance is applied to all costs, including case-mix adjusted direct health-care services costs as defined in section 25.5-6-201 (9), less interest, up to the reasonable cost established and will be allowed to proprietary, nonprofit, and tax-supported homes; except that the allowance shall not be applied to the costs of state-operated intermediate facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.\n\n(b) (I) The state board shall adopt rules to:\n\n(A) Determine and pay to privately owned intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities a reasonable share of the amount by which the reasonable costs of the categories of administration, property, and room and board, excluding food costs, exceed the actual cost in these categories only. The reasonable share shall be defined as twenty-five percent of the amount in the categories for each facility, not to exceed twelve percent of the reasonable cost.\n\n(B) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2008, p. 1783, § 5, effective July 1, 2008.)\n\n(II) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2008, p. 1783, § 5, effective July 1, 2008.)\n\n(c) to (e) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2008, p. 1783, § 5, effective July 1, 2008.)\n\n(3) to (5) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2008, p. 1783, § 5, effective July 1, 2008.)\n\n(6) and (7) Repealed.","path":["Title 25.5 - HEALTH CARE POLICY AND FINANCING","Article 6 - Colorado Medical Assistance Act - Long-term Care","Part 2 - NURSING FACILITIES"],"source_url":"https://olls.info/crs/crs2026-title-25.5.htm","current_through":"Colorado Revised Statutes 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:37:45Z","sha256":"0072a36acf335da520a8e9ac0a8af3abc4cce522e2f055c77b3f96a259880356","source_id":"us-co","stale":false,"prev":"us-co/c.r.s.-25.5-6-203","next":"us-co/c.r.s.-25.5-6-205"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
