RE:  Facility Renovation Procedure and Forms

The information contained in this ALERT is to provide clarity on established procedures. 

Alabama Administrative Code 560-X-22-.14(10) outlines the procedures and requirements for requesting an adjustment to the current asset value (CAV) of a nursing facility.

Please take note of the following:

   * Renovation for the purpose of the Chapter will be defined as real and fixed 

   property changes to a nursing facility.

   * The American Hospital Association publication, “Estimated Useful Lives of 

   Depreciable Hospital Assets,” Tables 2, 3, and 4 will be used to determine real 

   and fixed property affected by this rule. The Alabama Medicaid Agency has 

   also granted the use of Table 5.  

   * Renovation costs must exceed 5% of the CAV to qualify for a CAV 

   adjustment.

   * Prior to beginning renovations, facilities must request approval. Use the 

   Proposed Nursing Facility Renovation Project Form to request a Certificate of 

   Approval.

   * Renovation projects will be issued a Certificate of Approval or a Notice of 

   Denial.

   * Upon approval and completion of a renovation project, use the Completed Nursing Facility Renovation Project Form to request a CAV adjustment.

   * Forms can be emailed to ProviderAudit@medicaid.alabama.gov  or mailed to:
