Transitions Minnesota's nursing facility case mix reimbursement system from Resource Utilization Groups (RUG) to the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) for assessments with reference dates on or after October 1, 2025

Adds new definition for PDPM as a classification system based on resident condition, diagnosis, and care received, while limiting RUG system use to assessments dated September 30, 2025 or earlier

Requires significant change in status assessments when isolation for infectious disease ends, effective October 1, 2025, with the assessment reference date set on day 15 after isolation concludes

Limits use of optional state assessments (OSA Manual Version 1.0 v.2) to accompany OBRA assessments only through September 30, 2025

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 144.0724, subdivisions 2, 3a, 4, 7, and 9 to align state nursing facility reimbursement rules with federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requirements
