Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Projected increased cost based on the highest nursing home membership enrollment in Calendar Year 2024 = 8,749. The additional cost per member is $100.00 per month. If each member gets to retain an additional $100 per month for personal needs, this change in available funding to support the care of the resident would be included in billing to Medicaid. Total estimated cost is 8,749 residents x $100 x 12 mo = 10,498,800).
