There is hereby established a separate payment category for campus facilities. A “campus facility” is defined as an entity which consists of a long term care facility (or group of facilities if the facilities are on the same contiguous parcel of real estate) which meets all of the following criteria as of May 1, 1987: the entity provides care for both children and adults; residents of the entity reside in three or more separate buildings with congregate and small group living arrangements on a single campus; the entity provides three or more separate licensed levels of care; the entity (or a part of the entity) is enrolled with the Department of Healthcare and Family Services as a provider of long term care services and receives payments from that Department; the entity (or a part of the entity) receives funding from the Department of Human Services; and the entity (or a part of the entity) holds a current license as a child care institution issued by the Department of Children and Family Services.
     The Department of Healthcare and Family Services, the Department of Human Services, and the Department of Children and Family Services shall develop jointly a rate methodology or methodologies for campus facilities. Such methodology or methodologies may establish a single rate to be paid by all the agencies, or a separate rate to be paid by each agency, or separate components to be paid to different parts of the campus facility. All campus facilities shall receive the same rate of payment for similar services. Any methodology developed pursuant to this section shall take into account the actual costs to the facility of providing services to residents, and shall be adequate to reimburse the allowable costs of a campus facility which is economically and efficiently operated. Any methodology shall be established on the basis of historical, financial, and statistical data submitted by campus facilities, and shall take into account the actual costs incurred by campus facilities in providing services, and in meeting licensing and certification standards imposed and prescribed by the State of Illinois, any of its political subdivisions or municipalities and by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Rates may be established on a prospective or retrospective basis. Any methodology shall provide reimbursement for appropriate payment elements, including the following: standard services, patient services, real estate taxes, and capital costs.
     On and after July 1, 2012, the Department shall reduce any rate of reimbursement for services or other payments or alter any methodologies authorized by this Code to reduce any rate of reimbursement for services or other payments in accordance with Section 5-5e.
