Specialized Psychiatric Rehabilitative Services Reimbursement Rate
Effective July 1, 2022, the Specialized Psychiatric Rehabilitative Services (SPRS) reimbursement rate increased from $9.00 to $23.39 per resident day. This supplemental payment is available to skilled nursing facilities that provide SPRS to residents determined to have a mental illness by a level II PASRR evaluation.
To qualify for the supplemental payment, the nursing facility must address the SPRS on the resident care plan. The care plan must be reviewed and updated annually, or more frequently at a change in status, to reflect changes in the resident’s need for mental health services.
To maintain eligibility for the supplemental payment, an initial level II PASRR evaluation must be completed, and a resident review must be completed every two years thereafter. This level II PASRR evaluation must indicate nursing facility placement is appropriate and SPRS is needed.
For more information, review the Wisconsin Medicaid Methods of Implementation for Nursing Home Payments Rates for July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023 available on the ForwardHealth Resources for Skilled Nursing Facilities webpage.
