The Idaho Medicaid Program will reimburse for out-of-state nursing home placements when services are not available in Idaho to meet the participant's medical need, or in a temporary situation for a limited period of time required to safely transport the participant to an Idaho facility. Reimbursement for out-of-state nursing homes will be at the per diem rate set by the Medicaid Program in the state where the nursing home is located. Special rates will be allowed according to Section 270 of these rules.
