UNOFFICIAL 1700.1-28 (3) The facility specific G&A cost per day is compared with the revised ceiling to determine the revised allowable G&A cost component of the provider’s basic PPS rate. (4) The increase in the G&A portion of the provider’s PPS rate as a result of the above calculations represents the adjustment. “GET adjustment” means the adjustment to the basic PPS rate of a proprietary provider to reimburse it for gross excise taxes paid to the State of Hawaii. The GET adjustment shall be 1.04167, provided, however, that if the gross excise tax rate is increased or decreased, then the GET adjustment shall be revised accordingly. “Grandfathered capital component” means the capital component of the basic PPS rates that a new provider or a provider with new beds was receiving immediately prior to the FY 98 rebasing. “Grandfathered direct nursing and G&A adjustment” means an increase to an eligible provider's basic PPS rates calculated as follows: first, the department shall determine the provider's combined direct nursing and G&A components (including all incentives) as calculated in the FY 98 rebasing, second, the department shall determine the combined direct nursing and G&A component in the total PPS rates that the provider was receiving prior to the FY 98 rebasing for its old beds, third, the department shall increase that second amount by one-half of the inflation adjustment for FY 98, and finally, if the difference between the second amount and the first amount is a positive number, that number shall be multiplied by the ratio of the provider's old beds to its total beds. The product shall be the per diem increase to the provider's basic PPS rates. “Grandfathered PPS rate” means the total PPS rate that a provider was receiving prior to the FY 98 rebasing. “Hawaii Medicaid fee schedule” means the schedule of rate of payment for services provided by non- institutional providers of medical care.
