ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.
Officials from the Department of Social Services - Division of Medical Services (DMS) state that the proposed legislation would extend the sunset of the Nursing Facility Federal Reimbursement Allowance program to September 30, 2005. DMS states it is set to expire on September 30, 2002. DMS states if the extension of the Nursing Facility Federal Reimbusement Allowance does not pass, additional funding would be needed to maintain the current level of services.
Officials from the Department of Mental Health (DMH) state that all nursing facilities, except state-owned and operated facilities, are required to pay an additional fee for the privilege to provide nursing facility services in the state of Missouri. Therefore, the fiscal impact to the DMH would be zero.
