(a) Each nursing care facility shall pay the nursing care facility assessment to the account in accordance with this article.
(b) The aggregated amount of assessments for all nursing facilities during a fiscal year shall be the lesser of the amount necessary to fund the provisions of this article or the maximum amount that may be assessed pursuant to the indirect guarantee threshold as established pursuant to 42 C.F.R. 433.68(f)(3)(i). The department shall determine the assessment rate prospectively for the applicable fiscal year on a per-resident-day basis, exclusive of Medicare resident days. The per-resident-day assessment rate shall be uniform. The department shall promulgate rules for facility reporting of non-Medicare resident days and for payment of the assessment.
(c) The department shall collect, and each nursing care facility shall pay, the assessment under this section on a quarterly basis. The initial payment shall be due not later than forty-five (45) days after the state plan has been approved by the federal centers for Medicare and Medicaid services unless a later date is set by the department. Subsequent payments are due not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter.
(d) Nursing care facility operators may increase their charges to incorporate the cost of paying the assessment under this section, but shall not create a separate line-item charge on the bill reflecting the assessment.
