at such times and in such manner during a fis-
cal year as the Secretary finds necessary to
meet the requirement of this subparagraph.

The cost reporting period limit determined
under this subparagraph is an amount equal to
the product of—

the facility under subsection (d) for the pe-
riod; and
‘‘(ii) the number of stays beginning
during the period for which payment was

ing payments described in subparagraph (A),
the Secretary may reduce payments made to a

retary considers appropriate) that payments to

Subtitle F, Part 2
nursing facility for which payments were not

riod ending on or before September 30, 1994,
the per stay limit for the 12-month cost report-
ing period beginning during fiscal year 1997
shall be twice the amount determined under
subparagraph (A)(ii).
‘‘(2) LIMIT FOR SUBSEQUENT FISCAL YEARS.—
The per stay limit for a skilled nursing facility for
a 12-month cost reporting period beginning during
a fiscal year after fiscal year 1997 is equal to the
per stay limit established under this subsection for
the 12-month cost reporting period beginning during
the previous fiscal year, increased by the SNF mar-
ket basket percentage increase for such subsequent
fiscal year minus 2 percentage points.
‘‘(3) REBASING OF AMOUNTS.—
‘‘(A) IN
GENERAL.—The Secretary shall
provide for an update to the facility-specific
amounts used to determine the per stay limits
under this subsection for cost reporting periods
beginning on or after October 1, 1999, and
every 2 years thereafter.

Subtitle F, Part 2
‘‘(B) TREATMENT
OF
FACILITIES
NOT
HAVING REBASED COST REPORTING PERIODS.—
Paragraph (1)(B) shall apply with respect to a
skilled nursing facility for which payments were
not made under this title for covered non-rou-
tine services for the 12-month cost reporting
period used by the Secretary to update facility-
specific amounts under subparagraph (A) in the
same manner as such paragraph applies with
respect to a facility for which payments were
not made under this title for covered non-rou-
tine services for the last 12-month cost report-
ing period ending on or before September 30,
1994.
‘‘(e) DETERMINATION OF FACILITY-SPECIFIC STAY
AMOUNTS.—The ‘facility-specific stay amount’ for a
skilled nursing facility for a cost reporting period is the
sum of—
‘‘(1) the average amount of payments made to
the facility under part A during the period which are
attributable to covered non-routine services fur-
nished during a stay; and
‘‘(2) the Secretary’s best estimate of the aver-
age amount of payments made under part B during
the period for covered non-routine services furnished
