Kansas Administrative Regulations
Agency 30 - KANSAS DEPARTMENT FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
Article 10 - ADULT CARE HOME PROGRAM
Section 30-10-28 - Resident days

(1) "Resident day" shall have the meaning set forth in K.A.R. 30-10-1a.

(2) If both admission and discharge occur on the same day, that day shall be considered to be a day of admission and shall count as one resident day.

(3) If the provider does not make refunds on behalf of a resident for unused days in case of death or discharge, and if the bed is available and actually used by another resident, these unused days shall not be counted as a resident day.

(4) Any bed days paid for by the resident, or any other party on behalf of the resident, before an admission date shall not be counted as a resident day.

(5) The total resident days for the cost report period shall be precise and documented; an estimate of the days of care provided shall not be acceptable.

(6) In order to facilitate accurate and uniform reporting of resident days, the accumulated method format set forth in data specifications in diskettes furnished by the agency shall be used for all residents beginning January 1, 1999. The monthly reporting, using the diskette, shall be submitted to the agency as supportive documentation for the resident days shown on the cost report forms and shall be submitted at the time the cost report and required documents are submitted to the agency. Monthly census summaries shall include reporting for nursing facility or nursing facility-mental health, other residential days with shared nursing facility or nursing facility-mental health costs, and day care hours. Each provider shall keep these monthly records for each resident, whether a Kansas medical assistance program recipient or a non-recipient. If the provider fails to keep accurate records of resident days in accordance with the accumulated method format, the assumed occupancy rate shall be 100 percent.

(7) The provider shall report the total number of Kansas medical assistance program resident days in addition to the total resident days on the uniform cost report form.

(8) The provider shall report the total number of other residential days with shared nursing facility or nursing facility-mental health costs on the uniform cost report form.
