II.
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS:
A. FEES:
1. Basic Charges: If the Resident is a private pay resident (payment
is made from the Resident’s income or resources, not from Medicare,
Medicaid, Long Term Care or other insurance), the Resident and/or Resident’s Representative
agree to pay on the first day of each month the Facility’s current basic daily
per diem rate (“private per diem rate”) of
effective as of
(date current “private per diem rate” commenced). Resident and/or Resident’s Representative
recognize that this private per diem rate may be increased from time to time by
the Facility’s Board of Governors.
This per diem rate includes the cost
of the basic nursing care, dietary services, room housekeeping and any
additional services outlined in Section 1.A. above. Any additional costs of
services are additional costs to be paid by the Resident and/or Resident’s
Representative from the Resident’s income or resources. The facility shall bill
the Resident and/or Resident’s Representative for these additional costs on a
monthly basis. Payment is expected upon receipt of invoice, or no later than
ten (10) days of the billing date. There is an additional surcharge for a
private room which must be paid monthly.
Resident and/or Resident’s
Representative agree to apply promptly for eligibility and benefits under the
Medicaid program as soon as the Resident appears to meet such program’s
eligibility requirements. The Resident and/or Resident’s Representative shall
inform the Facility’s Admissions Coordinator, in writing, at least six (6)
months prior to the time that the Resident’s total assets and income will be
less than the amounts specified by Medicaid for Medicaid eligibility and
immediately complete the required application for Medicaid and supply a copy to
the Facility. If Resident is covered by Medicare or other governmental funding
source, or has supplemental or third party insurance, Resident and/or
Resident’s Representative agree to file forms on a timely basis to ensure
coverage by the payer and to take all actions necessary to cause Medicare,
Medicaid or other government funding source or insurance program to pay for the
Resident’s care. The Facility will
assist the Resident and or Resident’s Representative with the filing of the
above mentioned forms provided the Resident and/or Resident’s Representative
has provided the Facility with all the necessary information for completion of
said forms on a timely basis.
The Resident and/or Resident’s Representative
acknowledge and understand that in addition to the financial review by Medicaid,
a “Pre-Admission Screening” (“PAS”) will be conducted by the Medicaid District
Office staff to assess the Resident’s need for nursing home placement.
The Resident and/or Resident’s Representative
agree that the failure of the Resident and/or Resident’s Representative to
cooperate in filing on a timely basis for Medicaid or other reimbursement, does
not relieve them of financial responsibility to pay the private per diem rate
for the Facility’s services. For example, if Resident would be eligible for
Medicaid in March and no filing is made until June, Resident and/or Resident’s Representative
agree that they are responsible for payment of the private per diem rate until
Medicaid makes a determination of eligibility and assigns a date for Resident’s
reimbursements to begin.
The Facility reserves the right to
change the daily base rate upon thirty (30) days prior notice. Any refunds due
the Resident for fees paid by the Resident and/or Resident’s Representative to
the Facility will be paid in accordance with the Facility’s policies and procedures.
2. Cost of Additional Services: The Resident and/or Resident’s Representative from the
Resident’s income and resources, agrees to pay for the cost of all additional
services and supplies which are not covered by Medicaid or Medicare or other governmental
funding source or by any other third party payer the Resident may have or which
are the responsibility of the facility under the government’s prospective
payment or consolidated billing requirements.
All third party caregivers and
companions are required to attend all mandatory in-service programs, register
with the Facility, and obey all Facility rules and policies and procedures
including, but not limited to wearing appropriate uniforms and I.D. badges,
signing Facility registers, etc.
All third party caregivers and
companions are subject to criminal background checks. If they fail such checks
or fail to comply with having these checks, the Resident and/or Resident’s
Representative will be notified that the Facility disapproves of the caregiver
or companion and that person will not be permitted to provide services at the
Facility.
3. Late Fees and Collection
Fees:
The Facility reserves the right to
charge one and one-third percent (1 1/3 %) interest per month (annual
percentage rate of sixteen (16%) on any past due balance. The “past due
balance” shall be any payment which is not received within sixty (60) days of
the billing or due date, whichever is earlier. In the event that any account
shall remain unpaid for ninety (90) days or more after billing or becoming due,
and should the services of a collection agency or an attorney be used to
collect the account, the Resident and/or Resident’s Representative agree to pay
the reasonable cost of collection and/or attorney’s fees and costs.
B.
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE:
The Resident and/or Resident’s
Representative agree that the admission and continued stay of the Resident in
the Facility is contingent upon submission by the Resident and/or Resident’s Representative
and acceptance by the Facility, of an accurate disclosure of the Resident’s
assets and income at the time of application, upon admission.
In the event that Medicaid determines
that the Resident is ineligible for coverage because of actions taken by the
Resident and/or Resident’s Representative or otherwise, the Resident and/or Resident’s
Representative agree to pay the Facility’s private per diem rate and additional
services, if any, as otherwise outlined in this agreement.
When the
Resident becomes Medicaid eligible or if the Resident is admitted to the
Facility directly under the Medicaid Program, to the extent allowed by the
Medicaid regulations, all supplemental income, including but not limited to
Social Security, pension, etc. must be assigned to the Facility at the time of
admission to be applied toward the Resident’s account. A change of address form must be completed for all supplemental income
including but not limited to Social Security checks, pension, etc. at the time
the Resident is admitted. The Resident and/or Resident’s Representative is
responsible for submission of the Resident’s Social Security check at the
beginning of each month until the new address is in use by Social Security. The
Resident’s monthly account statement will reflect the Social Security payment of
the prior month.
