Since the federal approval of the nursing home rate changes for 2026, DHS has been moving rapidly to implement those rates. The rates are loaded into the billing system, so August services are being paid at the higher rate. DHS is also automatically reprocessing claims back to Jan. 1, 2026 and that process should be complete this month.
