Nursing Homes Warn State Lawmakers that Approving Senate PPS Proposal will Cost Pinellas County Homes $13 Million; Threaten High-Quality Care

Posted on April 20, 2017

WHO:
Kip Corriveau, Director of Mission at Bon Secours St. Petersburg Health System
Peter Crosa, Bon Secours Board Member
Monsignor Robert C. Gibbons, St. Paul Catholic Church
Rob Goldstein, Chief Executive Officer, Menorah Manor
Kent L. McRae, President/CEO, Mease Manor
WHAT:  Nursing Homes Warn State Lawmakers that Approving Senate PPS Proposal will Cost Pinellas County Homes more than $13 Million; Threaten High Quality Care
WHERE:
Bon Secours Maria Manor
10300 4th Street North
St. Petersburg, FL 33716
 WHEN:
Thursday, April 20, 2017
10 a.m. EDT
WHY:
Bon Secours Maria Manor, with other nursing homes from around Pinellas County, will gather to warn lawmakers against approving the Prospective Payment System (PPS) model that is currently included in the Florida Senate budget.
In Pinellas County, there are 69 nursing homes and 39 of them will lose money under the proposed PPS model, collectively costing those homes roughly $13 million, including:

  • Bon Secours loses $1,738,412 or 8.97 percent;
  • Bernard L Samson Nursing Center loses $999,155 or 9.87 percent; and,
  • Mease Manor loses $218,751 or 7.31 percent;

These losses would negatively affect high-quality nursing homes, threatening the quality of care that is currently delivered by Pinellas County’s nursing homes and devastating many of the state’s four- and five-star providers.  Under the plan 152 four- and five-star nursing homes will lose critical funding, while 97 one- and two-star facilities receive additional funding.  In addition, this proposal would shift $44 million from direct resident care to property.
