PROJECTED NON-BENEFIT COSTS. This section provides information on the development of projected non-benefit costs.
PROJECTED NON-BENEFIT COSTS. A. RATE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS i. Overview In accordance with 42 CFR §438.5(e), the non-benefit component of the capitation rate includes reasonable, appropriate and attainable expenses related to MCP operation of the MMC program. The remainder of Section I, item 5 provides documentation of the data, assumptions and methodology that we utilized to develop the non-benefit cost component of the capitation rate.
PROJECTED NON-BENEFIT COSTS. A. Changes in Data Sources, Assumptions, or Methodologies Since Last Certification Cost report data, including non-benefit costs, was available for CY 2016. We used this information to evaluate the reasonableness of our non-benefit expense assumptions for the Extension population. As reported non-benefit expenses in the CY 2016 cost reports did not differ significantly between the CFC Adult and Extension populations, the non-benefit expense percentage loads have been set equal for the two populations in the development of the CY 2018 rates. This assumption is consistent with the prior certification.
