For the purposes of rules in Chapter 5123-7 of the Administrative Code, the following definitions apply:
(A) "Allowable costs" are those costs incurred for certified beds in an ICFIID as determined by the department to be reasonable, as defined in paragraph (K) of this rule, and do not include recoupments, fines, penalties, or interest paid in accordance with sections 5124.41, 5124.42, 5124.523, and 5124.99 of the Revised Code. Unless otherwise enumerated in Chapter 5123-7 of the Administrative Code, allowable costs are also determined in accordance with the following reference material, in the following priority:
(1) 42 C.F.R. Chapter IV, as in effect on the effective date of this rule;
(2) The centers for medicare and medicaid services provider reimbursement manual (publications 15-1 and 15-2, available at https://www.cms.gov/regulations-and-guidance/guidance/manuals/paper-based-manuals.html); and
(3) Generally accepted accounting principles in accordance with standards prescribed by the "American Institute of Certified Public Accountants" (available at https://www.aicpa.org).
(B) "Date of licensure," for an ICFIID originally licensed as a nursing home under Chapter 3721. of the Revised Code, means the date specific beds were originally licensed as nursing home beds under that chapter, regardless of whether they were subsequently licensed as residential facility beds. For an ICFIID originally licensed as a residential facility, "date of licensure" means the date specific beds were originally licensed as residential facility beds under that section.
(1) If nursing home beds licensed under Chapter 3721. of the Revised Code or residential facility beds licensed under section 5123.19 of the Revised Code were not required by law to be licensed when they were originally used to provide nursing home or residential facility services, "date of licensure" means the date the beds first were used to provide nursing home or residential facility services, regardless of the date the present provider obtained licensure.
(2) If a facility adds nursing home or residential facility beds, or in the case of an ICFIID with more than eight beds or a nursing facility, it extensively renovates the facility after its original date of licensure, it will have a different date of licensure for the additional beds or for the extensively renovated facility, unless, in the case of the addition of beds, the beds are added in a space that was constructed at the same time as the previously licensed beds but was not licensed under Chapter 3721. or section 5123.19 of the Revised Code at that time. The licensure date for additional beds or facilities which extensively renovate will be the date the beds are placed into service.
