SlK SKUBnjSME ION 722-3600 Medical Reimbursement Rates To Be Studied By Welfare Dept. By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) The Medicaid Subcommittee of the Sunset Evaluation Committee has unanimously recommended that the bepartmeht of Public Welfare re-examine its rate structure for reimbursing for nursing home services to Medicaid patients. The sunset committee, meeting today, will also receive recommendations from the Medicaid group advocating increased competition for nursing homes, more home health care, and greater use of generic drugs. The subcommittee said Monday 94 percent of all nursing home beds are occupied and present rules have the effect of preventing construction of new nursing homes. It asks the DPW to promulgate rules that will "not stifle competition in the nursing home Industry and will encourage competition." The committee also considered alternates to nursing home care and favored a preadmission screening program to determine before a person became a Medicaid patient in a nursing home if other alternatives would be less costly.

The legislators' heard a report on a pilot project just begun by the Commission on Aging to determine relative costs of providing homemaker and handyman services to some elderly persons as an alternate to nursing home admission. Christopher Morse, project director, said the pilot study will be made in metropolitan Indianapolis and in Montgomery, White and counties. Ava Vogel, assistant' executive director of the Indiana Health Care Association, said Hoosier nursing home owners are split on the question of whether federal and state rules should be changed to allow construction of more nursing home facilities. "There is real distress in dealing with numbers. But competition would solve a lot of what you (lawmakers) perceive as problems in our industry." Rep.

Nelson Becker, K- Logansport, Medicaid Subcommittee chairman, said "we are going to try to develop a system where not as many persons are on Medicaid in nursing homes." Richard Coryell, assistant director of the Medicaid Division of the DPW, told the committee "it is not uncommon" for a generic drug to be 40 percent less than a brand name drug.
