All LTC facilities (SNF-ICF-RCF-ALF) may submit for reimbursement of outbreak testing through March 31, 2021.

All Skilled Nursing Facilities may invoice for other necessary COVID-19 expenditures up to a maximum cap of $345 per licensed bed. The previous cap of $303, which originally expired on December 30, 2020, has been extended to March 31, 2021 and the cap increased to $345 which is a $42 per licensed bed increase. Facilities cannot bill for expenses that have been previously invoiced.

All other facilities may submit invoices for other necessary COVID-019 expenses up to the previous existing cap of $330/licensed bed, which originally expired on December 1, 2020 and has been extended to March 31, 2021. Facilities cannot bill for expenses that have been previously invoiced.

If any facility previously submitted for reimbursement and did not get reimbursed up to the cap, they can submit for additional reimbursement up to the cap. If you have previously submitted invoices for reimbursement that meets or exceeds the cap, please do not resubmit those items. They are being re-reviewed at this time.
