Section 144-101-III-97-C-5000 - CASE MIX ADJUSTED DCP

The basis for case mix adjustment is a resident classification system that groups residents into classes according to their assessed conditions and the resources required to care for them. The DCP is multiplied by the average case mix weight for all MaineCare residents in the facility as of the payment roster date. The PA is added to the case mix adjusted DCP and becomes the facility's MaineCare rate. The Direct Care Price will be inflated annually. Every six months the Department will adjust data for facility-specific acuity.
