Medicaid Continues Planning for Nursing Facility QIP Back Payments

LeadingAge Ohio continues to work with the Ohio Department of Medicaid regarding implementation of the $875 million in Quality Incentive Payment (QIP) back payments approved by the General Assembly following last year's Ohio Supreme Court decision.

This week, LeadingAge Ohio requested an update on the timeline for payment implementation and discussions with providers. The Department indicated it is continuing to work through implementation logistics and expects to share additional information in the near future.

LeadingAge Ohio remains engaged with ODM and will continue advocating for timely payment distribution and clarity on outstanding implementation questions, including issues affecting certain change-of-ownership and change-of-provider situations.

We will share additional information with members as soon as a timeline and implementation details become available.
