Public Comment Period for State Plan Amendment (SPA): NH- 23-0002 Sunset ProShare 1 and ProShare 2 CPE

LEGAL NOTICE
NEW HAMPSHIRE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Notice is hereby given that the New Hampshire (NH) Department of Health and Human Services (the Department) is proposing to amend the Title XIX State Plan to discontinue the Proportionate Share Incentive Adjustment 1 for Hillsborough County Nursing Facility. Beginning July 1, 2023, New Hampshire proposes that all county nursing facilities participate in a certified public expenditure (CPE) method of claiming Proportionate Share Incentive Adjustment 2. Use of a CPE method of claiming Proportionate Share Incentive Adjustment supports access to and viability of county nursing facilities with an equally compliant method. 

This proposed change will result in an expected increase in federal expenditures of $1,127 for federal fiscal year 2023 and an estimated increase in federal expenditures of $3,381 in federal fiscal year 2024. 

Copies of draft State Plan pages will be available by August 1, 2023. Please contact Jody Farwell at (603) 271-9421, or via e-mail at jody.l.farwell@dhhs.nh.gov, to request copies. The amendments to the State Plan pages may undergo further revisions before and after submittal to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) based upon public comment or CMS feedback. Comments will be due by August 15, 2023 and should be e-mailed to jody.l.farwell@dhhs.nh.gov or mailed to the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Medicaid Services, 129 Pleasant Street–Brown Building, Concord, NH 03301-3857, ATTN: Jody Farwell.
