RCW 74.46.421 rate reduction—A nursing facility's rates.
(1) The department will not reverse any rate reductions taken in accordance with RCW 74.46.421.
(2) If after a reduction a nursing facility is eligible to receive an increase in a component rate for some unrelated change (e.g., a change in the medicaid case mix index causes the direct care rate to increase), the department will apply the increase to the rate reduced by application of RCW 74.46.421.
(3) Reductions made under RCW 74.46.421 are cumulative. The department will reduce the component rates for all nursing facilities without reversing any previous reductions.
