Proposal to Limit Reimbursement for Ancillary Costs Associated with the Specialized Care Program
 

This action proposes to limit ancillary costs, which have just been passed through at 100% covered cost, for Specialized Care services due to their marked increase over the last several years and the wide variation across different nursing facilities.

The Virginia Health Care Association (VHCA) requests the opportunity to meet with the Department and provide input into any changes under consideration.  VHCA represents the vast majority of Specialized Care providers in the Commonwealth and is well-suited to work with DMAS as changes to this program are considered.

Please contact Hobart Harvey at 353-9101 ext. 105 for additional information.
