MN SF2750

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 256R.38 to correct terminology by changing "external fixed" to "external fixed costs" when referring to the payment rate category under section 256R.25

Performance-based incentive payments for nursing facilities may be up to 5% above a facility's operating payment rate for achieving contracted outcomes

Incentive payments are awarded through competitive proposals evaluated against state policy objectives including resident diversion to community-based care, technology adoption, quality improvements measured by the Minnesota Nursing Home Report Card, and reduced acute care costs

Commissioner approves proposals through memoranda of understanding specifying payment levels tied to performance levels, with payments limited to appropriated funds
