25 32 annual total as demonstrated on the provider's Medicaid
25 33 financial and statistical report. For the purposes of
25 34 calculating the per diem relief, total patient days shall be
25 35 the greater of the estimated annual patient days or
26 1 eighty=five percent of the facility's estimated licensed
26 2 capacity.
26 3 (4) The combination of the nondirect care component and
26 4 the estimated value of relief shall not exceed one hundred and
26 5 ten percent of the nondirect care median for the relevant
26 6 period. If a nondirect care limit exception has been
26 7 requested and granted, the combination of the nondirect care
26 8 component and the estimated value of relief shall not exceed
26 9 one hundred twenty percent of the nondirect care median for
26 10 the relevant period.
26 11 c. Instant relief granted under this subsection shall
26 12 begin the first day of the calendar quarter following
26 13 placement of the provider's assets in service. If the
26 14 required information to calculate the instant relief, as
26 15 specified in paragraph "a", is not submitted prior to the
26 16 first day of the calendar quarter following placement of the
26 17 provider's assets in service, instant relief shall instead
26 18 begin on the first day of the calendar quarter following
26 19 receipt of the required information.
26 20 d. Instant relief granted under this subsection shall be
26 21 terminated at the time of the provider's subsequent biannual
26 22 rebasing when the submission of the annual cost report for the
26 23 provider includes the new replacement costs and the annual
26 24 property costs reflect the new assets.
26 25 e. During the period in which instant relief is granted,
26 26 the Iowa Medicaid enterprise shall recalculate the value of
26 27 the instant relief based on allowable costs and patient days
26 28 reported on the annual financial and statistical report. For
26 29 purposes of calculating the per diem relief, total patient
26 30 days shall be the greater of actual annual patient days or
26 31 eighty=five percent of the facility's licensed capacity. The
26 32 actual value of relief shall be added to the nondirect care
26 33 component for the relevant period, not to exceed one hundred
26 34 ten percent of the nondirect care median for the relevant
26 35 period or not to exceed one hundred twenty percent of the
27 1 nondirect care median for the relevant period if the nondirect
27 2 care limit exception is requested and granted. The provider's
27 3 quarterly rates for the relevant period shall be retroactively
27 4 adjusted to reflect the revised nondirect care rate. All
27 5 claims with dates of service from the date that instant relief
27 6 is granted to the date that the instant relief is terminated
27 7 shall be repriced to reflect the actual value of the instant
27 8 relief per diem utilizing a mass adjustment.
27 9 3. If the provider requests the nondirect care limit
27 10 exception, all of the following shall apply:
27 11 a. The nondirect care limit for the rate setting period
27 12 shall be increased to one hundred and twenty percent of the
27 13 median for the relevant period.
27 14 b. The exception period shall not exceed a period of two
27 15 years. If the provider is requesting only the nondirect care
27 16 limit exception, the request shall be submitted within sixty
27 17 days of the release of the July 1 rate determination letters
27 18 following each biannual rebasing cycle, and shall be effective
27 19 the first day of the month following receipt of the request.
27 20 If applicable, the provider shall identify any time period in
27 21 which instant relief was granted and shall indicate how many
27 22 times the instant relief or nondirect care limit exception was
27 23 granted previously.
27 24 Sec. 31. NEW SECTION. 249K.4 PRELIMINARY EVALUATION.
27 25 1. A provider preparing cost or other feasibility
27 26 projections for a request for relief or an exception pursuant
27 27 to section 249K.3 may submit a request for preliminary
27 28 evaluation.
27 29 2. The request shall contain all of the information
27 30 required for the type of assistance sought pursuant to section
27 31 249K.3.
27 32 3. The provider shall estimate the timing of the
27 33 initiation and completion of the project to allow the

27 35 and the nondirect care limit exception.
28 1 4. The department shall respond to a request for
28 2 preliminary evaluation under this section within thirty days
28 3 of receipt of the request. A preliminary evaluation does not
28 4 guarantee approval of instant relief or the nondirect care
28 5 limit exception upon submission of a formal request. A
28 6 preliminary evaluation provides only an estimate of value of
28 7 the instant relief or nondirect care limit exception based
28 8 only on the projections.
