| |Medicaid Occupancy Percentage of 60 percent or greater. The Medicaid Occupancy Percentage will be |
| |calculated using Medicaid service days from the last six months of the calendar year preceding the |
| |applicable fiscal year divided by the product of all the AL contractors’ licensed boarding home beds |
| |irrespective of use, times calendar days for the same six-month period; |
| |include in Medicaid service days those for clients who are enrolled in a Medicaid managed long-term care |
| |program, including but not limited to the program for all inclusive care (PACE) and the Medicaid/Medicare |
| |integration project (MMIP); |
| |Construction standards are not considered in determining which AL contractors will receive a capital add-on|
| |rate. |
