CON #7299, Condition Compliance
Dear Mr. Gregg:
Please accept the following report as an assessment of compliance for the
referenced Certificate of Need condition, 35 percent of total annual patient days
shall be allocated to Medicaid patients, placed on the referenced CON.
If you have any additional questions and/or require additional information, please
do not hesitate to call 615-217-2324.
Sincerely,
The Health Center of Daytona Beach, Inc.

Steve A. Strawn
Director, Authorized Representative for the License Holder
Enclosure
THE HEALTH CENTER OF DAYTONA BEACH
CERTIFICATE OF NEED #7299
ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The time period cow ered by the measures;
Please see attached typed summary chart (Exhibit A) for the time petiod covered. (Column A)
The measure for assessing compliance of the conditions identified and described:
The measure for assessing compliance of the condition identified is percent Medicaid of total
patient days, The formula is as follows:
Medicaid Total Days
% Medicaid of Total Patient Days = wwe nw neem n ee nc rune e
Total Patient Days
Corresponds to Summary Chart
Column A= Time Period Covered
Column B = Medicaid Total Days
Column C =Total Patient Days
Column D = % Medicaid of Total Patient Days
27.66% = 6,439
23,278
Conditioned jo be at minimum of 35% Medicaid of Total Patient Days
Actual percentage of Medicaid Days to Total Patient Days is 27.66%, which is les tham the
required 35%. the referenced CON is therefore in not in compliance with the measure Im the
strictest sense, but is in technical compliance with the spirit and inient of the condition. Please
see response to Question Nine.
The way in which the conditions were evaluated by applying the measures;
If the percent Medicaid of Total Patient Days is equal to or greater than the measure for
assessing compliance of the condition (see Question 2 for method), then compliancehas been
met. Please see attached Exhibit A.
Data was taken from @ computer generated sheet (Exhibit B) which are attached hereto, and
placed on the attached summary char. Two fine items, with headings Medicaid SNF and
Medicaid NF, were totaled together and are found on the separate summary chai (Exhibit A)
under the title MEDICAID PATIENT DAYS, per month. The date found under the char tile TOTAL
PATIENT DAYS (Exhibit A) can be found under the heading TOTAL DAYS on a monthly basis.
The acival data sources used to generate the information on the conditions that were
measured; .
Please see the attached computer generated data tables (Exhibit 8). Rows titled Medicaicdl SNF,
Medicaid NF and TOTAL DAYS have been summarized on a chart by month, and follow the
method sfated in Question 2 to report compliance.
The source of the data for the measure;
The Health Center of Daytona Beach, Inc., lessee and/or management entity of the reflerern ced
CON, internal report entitled "Census Summary of Patient Days" prepared by the facility
bookkeeper on a Monthly basis as part of a financial report which is patient specific. Data
recorded is based On revenue as patients are approved by payor source. Some revenue ray
be retroactive.
The reasonableness Of the measures and the confidence in the measures;
The measure is both reasonable and one which allows confidence in assessing compliaance
with the assigned condition. As can be seen from Question two (2), the measure is a
straightforward ratio of Medicaid Total Days to Total Patient Days. We are confident thatthis is a-
reasonable way to evaluate Percent Medicaid of Total Patient Days. .
Checks and balances are that payment is received on the turnaround documents and claim
forms. Data is done On 4 case by case basis. Hospital Cost Containment Reports are pepaared
off these reports. The report used also maiches our Medicaid and Medicare reports. Therefore
we feel the data is reasonable and accurate and one in which the confidence level is
extremely high.
The person and position responsible for defining the measures and supplying the compliance
report;
Steven A. Strawn, Direcior for The Health Center of Dayiona Beach, Inc., and the Authorized
Representative for the referenced license and Certificate of Need holder.
Any other information Necessary to determine compliance with conditions; and, None
If applicable, the reason or reasons, with supporting data, why the certificate of need holder
was unable to meet the conditions set forih on ihe face of the certificate of need.
The Health Center of Daytona Beach does not discriminate against patients on any goounds
including and not limited to payor source. The center works closely withthe area hospitals and
physicians to accommodate all referrals hey may have. Because of our high censusancdl our
limited number of beds (60) with 13 additional beds added 3/14/03, we frequently do not have
bed availability for patients regardless of payor source. However, we do work wih area
discharges planners jo assist them when they hove patients to place regardless of our
vacancies. The center has a higher than average Medicare and managed care census due to
the faci that it was the only Blue Cross provider on the eastside of the county, and stillis only
one of several options currently available. Our center had over 44.8% of our patients being
reimbursed by Medicare and managed care in 2005. Our facility is also the only five star
clinically based center in the eastern par of the county. In addition, the center ako offers
patients both in and out patient rehab services, which is very attractive to patients and tarnilies
seeking a nursing home bed. Because the majority of our patients come from hospitals, and
the majority of thos¢ admissions are Medicare patients, and given the fact that center must
treat Medicare as the primary payor source according to state Jaw, the center really has little
control of admissio™5- In addition, the center average length of stay is such that patients can
be discharged to less costly levels of care, before billing Medicaid. Please note that according
to the latest Florida’ Nursing Home Utilization by District and Subdistrict, July 2004 to June 20085,
p.73, the occupanc ¥ rate in District/Sub district. 4/4 was 87.95% compared to our centers 89.52%
occupancy rate. Based on licensed community beds of 3,394 and the average census of
87.95%, an average of 2,985 beds were occupied on any given day. Consequently, that
means that 409 beds were also unoccupied in the subdistrict during the same period of inne on
any given day. Clearly, for calendar year 2005, access to nursing home beds was notan issue
for this subdistrict. 117 addition, the east Volusia occupancy rates, in which the centerls located,
has an even lower occupancy rate average than the Subdistrict. Please keep in mind that in
addition to the hospital closing its skilled units within the last several reporting periods, Mariner
Health Care of peland and Holiday Care Center (inactive) closed in 2002 representing 240
beds. In addition, Emory L. Bennett Memorial Veterans NH of Florida, a 120 bed facility for
veterans has been excluded from the referenced numbers.
As the agency states in its publication entitled Florida Nursing Home Bed Need Projections by
District and Subdistrict, 10/07/05, “The. Legislature finds that the continued growth in the
Medicaid budget for nursing home care has constrained the ability of the state fo meet the
needs of its elderly residents through the use of less restrictive and less institutional methocis of
long-term care. it is therefore the intent of the Legislature to limit the increase In Medicaid
nursing home expenditures in order fo provide funds to invest in long-term care that is
community-based and provides supportive services in a manner that is both more cost-
effective and more In keeping with the wishes of the elderly residents of this state."(p.3, AHCA
FL Nursing Home Utilization, July 2004 - June 2005).
In summary, patient admissions are based on need and not payor source. Given that fact and
the clear Legislative directive to reduce reliance on nursing homes and suppor community
based services, it would seem the current state of census utilization would seem encouraging to
the agency. If access to a nursing home bed was truly an issue, you would not expect to see
two centers or 240 beds closing within the last several years in Volusia County. Furthermore, the
inability to serve Medicaid patients in the nursing home setting due to lack of demand allows
Medicaid budget dollars to be used in a fashion more in concer with current legislative
direction.
Lastly, this facility is located in a County which is part of the State of Florida, Department of Elcier
Affairs, Long-Term care Community Diversion Program. “The objective isto provide frail elderly
with safe, appropriate community based care alternatives in lieu of nursing home placement at
a cost less than Medicaid nursing home care.” (Department of Elder Affairs website) The CARES
unit at the Department of Elderly Affair determines the individuals that meet the criteria’ to
receive services. This program by its very nature, is designed to reduce the number of
admissions and therefore, patient days that nursing centers might have previously provided.
Please see attached documentation about the Long-Term Care Community Diversion Frogram.
Ifthe agency requires any additional information or support as to why the cénter has not met its
condition, please d° not hesitate to contact The Health Center of Daytona Beach, Inc.as we
would be glad to provide any backup available to document our operations and compliance
efforts.
