Oregon Administrative Rules
Chapter 411 - DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES, AGING AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
Division 70 - NURSING FACILITIES/MEDICAID GENERALLY AND REIMBURSEMENT
Section 411-070-0430 - Allocation Methods

(1) The provider must use the allocation methods designated on the NFFS: COST -- ALLOCATION METHOD:

(2) Where costs are related to non-nursing facility activities, the provider must use an appropriate allocation method to reasonably and accurately allocate these costs (see OAR 411-070-0415). For residential care facility individuals, the facility must use resident days for all areas except direct care compensation and direct care supplies and property. The direct care compensation and direct care supplies allocation must be actual costs incurred. The property allocation method may be based on either resident days or on square footage and must be designated on the NFFS.

(3) Square footage must be used to allocate property costs to pediatric units as defined in OAR 411-070-0452.

(4) Actual payroll for the pediatric unit must be used as the basis for allocating direct care compensation to pediatric units.

(5) If APD determines that for a provider it is more reasonable and accurate to use a different allocation method than specified in sections (1) and (2) of this rule, then such allocation method must be used.
