Long Term Acute Care

The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) will amend Attachments 3.1-A and 3.1-B of the Medicaid State Plan to update inpatient hospital procedures that include long term acute care, and to make other technical changes.

 

This amendment, therefore, removes language that is either unnecessary or no longer applies to inpatient hospital procedures, and updates citations for state administrative rules and statutes.

 

This State Plan Amendment (SPA 17-0025-UT) does not affect total annual expenditures for the Medicaid program.

 

The SPA is pending approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the proposed effective date is December 1, 2017.

 

A copy of this change may be obtained from Craig Devashrayee (801-538-6641), or by writing the Technical Writing Unit, Utah Department of Health, P.O. Box 143102, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-3102. Comments are welcome at the same address. Copies of the change are also available at local county health department offices.
