Bed days for all payers are used in calculating the supplemental payment. Fifty percent (50%) of the supplemental payment is based on Medicaid occupancy, MDS accuracy, and quality measures. Fifty percent (50%) of the payment is based on acuity. The amount available for supplemental payments is computed quarterly and reimbursed in the quarter in three equal monthly payments.
