Governor's Medicaid Nursing Facility Recommendations--2001 SB 55/AB 144
•Increase Medicaid nursing facility funding by $115 million in 2001-02 and by $157.2 million in 2002-03.
•The entire increase would be funded from an anticipated expansion of the Intergovernmental Transfer Program (IGT). No New GPR State Dollars are authorized under the Governor’s budget for nursing facilities.
•IGT dollars also would entirely fund $50 million rate increases for other Medicaid providers over the biennium.
