5.8.10 LIABILITY EFFECTIVE DATES

 

Nursing homes, State centers, and State mental hospitals receive a CARES Client Assistance for Re-employment & Economic Support weekly paper report, #CCN150RA, that lists the patient liability amounts for their MA residents.  The report includes case number, primary person name, patient liability status (approval, closure, increase, decrease, unchanged), the date the action was confirmed on AGEC, prior patient liability amount, current patient liability amount, effective begin date, and effective end date.

 

Income Income is anything you receive in cash or in kind that you can use to meet your needs for food, clothing, and shelter. changes which are reported timely and result in an increased patient liability have the following effective dates:

 

  1. Before cutoff, effective the first of the following month.
     

  2. After cutoff, effective the first of the month after the following month.

 

Do not complete HCF 10110’s ( formerly DES 3070 ) for retroactive patient liability increases since the client must receive timely notice.

 

Decreases in patient liability are always effective the first of the month in which the decrease in income occurs or the decrease is reported, whichever is later.  If the date of change that you enter into CARES will cause an incorrect effective date on the EDS file, run with dates in CARES.  Do not complete a HCF 10110 (formerly DES 3070)  unless you are unable to confirm the decrease after running with dates in CARES.
