If nursing facilities will get higher Medicaid payments, why should they charge private-pay residents more?
Not all Oregon nursing facilities will get more money when Medicaid rates go up. The increased payments are only for Medicaid bed days. Only nursing facilities with many Medicaid residents will benefit overall. A nursing facility with few Medicaid residents will not break even. The facility will pay tax on all beds. It will only get a rate increase for its Medicaid residents.
