On Wednesday, the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) released the final version of the long-awaited Application of Share of Cost/Patient Liability for Nursing Facilities fact sheet, which highlights challenging areas for providers helping to manage patient liability. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide nursing facilities with an overview of Share of Cost (SOC)/Patient Liability (PL), an explanation of and application of SOC/PL in various scenarios and answers to frequently asked questions.
The LeadingAge Ohio Billing & Eligibility Subcommittee had the opportunity to preview the document, which has been under development for several years. LeadingAge Ohio strongly encourages members to share this document with their billing staff.
