Calculation clarification of border city nursing facility rate adjustments

Summary

The bill lets nonprofit nursing facilities in Breckenridge or Moorhead (as defined before 2015) apply each year for an extra payment to cover external fixed costs. The add‑on is calculated by comparing the facility's lowest case‑mix rate to the median lowest‑case‑mix rate of nonprofit facilities in adjacent out‑of‑state cities. It aims to standardize how these border‑city rates are determined and take effect retroactively from Jan. 1 2026.
