CON Nos. 8950 / 9045/9200 Mail Stop 28 Life Care Center of Jacksonville CON Condition Compliance (2006) * Dear Mr. Love: Please accept this letter and attachments as the formal report by Life Care Center of Jacksonville concerning its‘CON Condition Compliance for calendar year 2006. I have been authorized by the owner and licensee of the facility to act as its authorized representative for purposes of filing this report. Per Rule 59C-1.013(4)(a), Florida Administrative Code: * The time period covered by this report is January — December, 2006. * The measure for assessing compliance with the Medicaid condition is to determine total patient days for the year and divide by the number of Medicaid-eligible patient days for the year. : ¢ The data used was the facility’s internal census tracking information generated on a monthly basis (See Attachment 1). ¢ The compliance report is being submitted by the undersigned under the authority of the facility administrator and licensee of the facility, Requirement for 54.60% Medicaid Patient Days The facility provided a total of 38,432 total patient days of care in calendar year 2006. Of that number, 5.688 days of care were provided to residents as “traditional” Medicaid days; an additional 276 days were provided to Medicaid-eligible hospice residents; and 1,292 days of care were provided to residents who were continually Medicaid-eligible but for whom our facility was reimbursed under the Medicare program for those particular days. These are typically residents of our facility who require hospitalization and upon retum to the Life Care facility are temporarily eligible for a limited amount of Medicare reimbursement, therefore they are sometimes referred to as “dually-elipible”. c EXHIBIT ; Cc Apr 7 2009 13:25 APR-G?-2889 14:38 AGENCY HEALTH CARE ADMIN 856 921 4158 } The total patient days, and percentage of days, in each of the three categories described above are set out in spreadsheet covering all Life Care Center facilities in Florida submitting CON condition compliance data, (See Attachment 2). Life Care Center of Jacksonville provided a total of 7,256 patient days to patients eligible for care under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. That number equates to 18.88% of all patient days. P. 26/28 Conclusion While it appears that Life Care Center of Jacksonville has not strictly met its condition of 34.60% for CY 2006, we have provided additional documentation and discussion to support a finding by the Agency that Life Care is in substantial compliance with these requirements. (See Attachment 3). Thank you again for your consideration and attention to this matter. If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me directly.
