11Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' payroll-based
12journal and the facility's daily census, broken down by
13intermediate and skilled care as self-reported by the facility
14to the Department on a quarterly basis. The Department shall
15use the quarterly payroll-based journal and the self-reported
16census to calculate the number of hours provided per resident
17per day and compare this ratio to the minimum staffing
18standards required under this Section, as impacted by any
19waivers granted under Section 3-303.1. Discrepancies between
20job titles contained in this Section and the payroll-based
21journal shall be addressed by rule. The manner in which the
22Department requests payroll-based journal information to be
23submitted shall align with the federal Centers for Medicare
24and Medicaid Services' requirements that allow providers to
25submit the quarterly data in an aggregate manner.
26    (g) Monetary penalties for non-compliance. The Department

 

 

10200HB0240sam001- 7 -LRB102 05098 KTG 42451 a

1shall submit proposed rules for adoption by January 1, 2020
2establishing monetary penalties for facilities not in
3compliance with minimum staffing standards under this Section.
4Facilities shall be required to comply with the provisions of
5this subsection beginning January 1, 2025. No monetary penalty
6may be issued for noncompliance prior to during the revised
7implementation date period, which shall be January 1, 2025
8July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021. If a facility is found
9to be noncompliant prior to during the revised implementation
10date period, the Department shall provide a written notice
11identifying the staffing deficiencies and require the facility
12to provide a sufficiently detailed correction plan that
13describes proposed and completed actions the facility will
14take or has taken, including hiring actions, to address the
15facility's failure to meet the statutory minimum staffing
16levels. Monetary penalties shall be imposed beginning no later
17than July 1, 2025, based on data for the quarter beginning
18January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025 January 1, 2022 and
19quarterly thereafter and shall be based on the latest quarter
20for which the Department has data. Monetary penalties shall be
21established based on a formula that calculates on a daily
22basis the cost of wages and benefits for the missing staffing
23hours. All notices of noncompliance shall include the
24computations used to determine noncompliance and establishing
25the variance between minimum staffing ratios and the
26Department's computations. The penalty for the first offense

 

 

10200HB0240sam001- 8 -LRB102 05098 KTG 42451 a

1shall be 125% of the cost of wages and benefits for the missing
2staffing hours. The penalty shall increase to 150% of the cost
3of wages and benefits for the missing staffing hours for the
4second offense and 200% the cost of wages and benefits for the
5missing staffing hours for the third and all subsequent
6offenses. The penalty shall be imposed regardless of whether
7the facility has committed other violations of this Act during
8the same period that the staffing offense occurred. The
9penalty may not be waived, but the Department shall have the
10discretion to determine the gravity of the violation in
11situations where there is no more than a 10% deviation from the
12staffing requirements and make appropriate adjustments to the
13penalty. The Department is granted discretion to waive the
14penalty when unforeseen circumstances have occurred that
15resulted in call-offs of scheduled staff. This provision shall
16be applied no more than 6 times per quarter. Nothing in this
17Section diminishes a facility's right to appeal the imposition
18of a monetary penalty. No facility may appeal a notice of
19noncompliance issued during the revised implementation period.

7    (k) During the first quarter of State Fiscal Year 2020,
8the Department of Healthcare of Family Services must convene a
9technical advisory group consisting of members of all trade
10associations representing Illinois skilled nursing providers
11to discuss changes necessary with federal implementation of
12Medicare's Patient-Driven Payment Model. Implementation of
13Medicare's Patient-Driven Payment Model shall, by September 1,
142020, end the collection of the MDS data that is necessary to
15maintain the current RUG-IV Medicaid payment methodology. The
16technical advisory group must consider a revised reimbursement
17methodology that takes into account transparency,
18accountability, actual staffing as reported under the
19federally required Payroll Based Journal system, changes to
20the minimum wage, adequacy in coverage of the cost of care, and
21a quality component that rewards quality improvements.
22    (l) The Department shall establish per diem add-on
23payments to improve the quality of care delivered by
24facilities, including:
25        (1) Incentive payments determined by facility
26    performance on specified quality measures in an initial

 

 

10200HB0240sam001- 41 -LRB102 05098 KTG 42451 a

1    amount of $70,000,000. Nothing in this subsection shall be
2    construed to limit the quality of care payments in the
3    aggregate statewide to $70,000,000, and, if quality of
4    care has improved across nursing facilities, the
5    Department shall adjust those add-on payments accordingly.
6    The quality payment methodology described in this
7    subsection must be used for at least State Fiscal Year
8    2023. Beginning with the quarter starting July 1, 2023,
9    the Department may add, remove, or change quality metrics
10    and make associated changes to the quality payment
11    methodology as outlined in subparagraph (E). Facilities
12    designated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
13    Services as a special focus facility or a hospital-based
14    nursing home do not qualify for quality payments.
15            (A) Each quality pool must be distributed by
16        assigning a quality weighted score for each nursing
17        home which is calculated by multiplying the nursing
18        home's quality base period Medicaid days by the
19        nursing home's star rating weight in that period.
20            (B) Star rating weights are assigned based on the
21        nursing home's star rating for the LTS quality star
22        rating. As used in this subparagraph, "LTS quality
23        star rating" means the long-term stay quality rating
24        for each nursing facility, as assigned by the Centers
25        for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Five-Star
26        Quality Rating System. The rating is a number ranging

 

 

10200HB0240sam001- 42 -LRB102 05098 KTG 42451 a

1        from 0 (lowest) to 5 (highest).
2                (i) Zero-star or one-star rating has a weight
3            of 0.
4                (ii) Two-star rating has a weight of 0.75.
5                (iii) Three-star rating has a weight of 1.5.
6                (iv) Four-star rating has a weight of 2.5.
7                (v) Five-star rating has a weight of 3.5.
8            (C) Each nursing home's quality weight score is
9        divided by the sum of all quality weight scores for
10        qualifying nursing homes to determine the proportion
11        of the quality pool to be paid to the nursing home.
12            (D) The quality pool is no less than $70,000,000
13        annually or $17,500,000 per quarter. The Department
14        shall publish on its website the estimated payments
15        and the associated weights for each facility 45 days
16        prior to when the initial payments for the quarter are
17        to be paid. The Department shall assign each facility
18        the most recent and applicable quarter's STAR value
19        unless the facility notifies the Department within 15
20        days of an issue and the facility provides reasonable
21        evidence demonstrating its timely compliance with
22        federal data submission requirements for the quarter
23        of record. If such evidence cannot be provided to the
24        Department, the STAR rating assigned to the facility
25        shall be reduced by one from the prior quarter.
26            (E) The Department shall review quality metrics

1        used for payment of the quality pool and make
2        recommendations for any associated changes to the
3        methodology for distributing quality pool payments in
4        consultation with associations representing long-term
5        care providers, consumer advocates, organizations
6        representing workers of long-term care facilities, and
7        payors. The Department may establish, by rule, changes
8        to the methodology for distributing quality pool
9        payments.
10            (F) The Department shall disburse quality pool
11        payments from the Long-Term Care Provider Fund on a
12        monthly basis in amounts proportional to the total
13        quality pool payment determined for the quarter.
14            (G) The Department shall publish any changes in
15        the methodology for distributing quality pool payments
16        prior to the beginning of the measurement period or
17        quality base period for any metric added to the
18        distribution's methodology.
19        (2) Payments based on CNA tenure, promotion, and CNA
20    training for the purpose of increasing CNA compensation.
21    It is the intent of this subsection that payments made in
22    accordance with this paragraph be directly incorporated
23    into increased compensation for CNAs. As used in this
24    paragraph, "CNA" means a certified nursing assistant as
25    that term is described in Section 3-206 of the Nursing
26    Home Care Act, Section 3-206 of the ID/DD Community Care

1    Act, and Section 3-206 of the MC/DD Act. The Department
2    shall establish, by rule, payments to nursing facilities
3    equal to Medicaid's share of the tenure wage increments
4    specified in this paragraph for all reported CNA employee
5    hours compensated according to a posted schedule
6    consisting of increments at least as large as those
7    specified in this paragraph. The increments are as
8    follows: an additional $1.50 per hour for CNAs with at
9    least one and less than 2 years' experience plus another
10    $1 per hour for each additional year of experience up to a
11    maximum of $6.50 for CNAs with at least 6 years of
12    experience. For purposes of this paragraph, Medicaid's
13    share shall be the ratio determined by paid Medicaid bed
14    days divided by total bed days for the applicable time
15    period used in the calculation. In addition, and additive
16    to any tenure increments paid as specified in this
17    paragraph, the Department shall establish, by rule,
18    payments supporting Medicaid's share of the
19    promotion-based wage increments for CNA employee hours
20    compensated for that promotion with at least a $1.50
21    hourly increase. Medicaid's share shall be established as
22    it is for the tenure increments described in this
23    paragraph. Qualifying promotions shall be defined by the
24    Department in rules for an expected 10-15% subset of CNAs
25    assigned intermediate, specialized, or added roles such as
26    CNA trainers, CNA scheduling "captains", and CNA

4industry representatives to design policies and procedures to
5permit facilities to address the integrity of data from
6federal reporting sites used by the Department in setting
7facility rates.
