a) The amount approved for payment for long term care services is based on the type and amount of services required by and actually being furnished to a resident and is determined in accordance with the Department's rate schedule.

b) Costs not related to patient care, as well as costs in excess of those required for the efficient and economical delivery of care, will not be reimbursed.

1) Rates for long term care services shall be the sum of the reimbursable costs of capital, support, and nursing, as defined in this Part and 89 Ill. Adm. Code 147.

2) Additionally, for county-owned or operated nursing facilities, rates shall include allowable costs incurred in excess of the reimbursable costs defined in this Part and 89 Ill. Adm. Code 147.
