Description
Pursuant to the Public Health Law (§ 2807, subd 3), the commissioner is empowered to establish reimbursement rates "reasonably related to the costs of providing" health-related services. To effectuate this legislative directive, the commissioner promulgated regulations for the computation of rate ceilings (see 10 NYCRR Part 86), one of which grouped medical facilities for this purpose by, among other criteria, the type of facility and its size (10 NYCRR 86.13, as amd by 10 NYCRR 86-2.11). Applying this regulation, the commissioner, rather than placing respondents 120 bed facility, which is comprised of a 40 bed Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) and an 80 bed Health Related Facility (HRF), in the 100-199 bed classification as provided in the rate ceiling regulation, subdivided respondents facility, placing the SNF and HRF in separate 51-99 bed classifications. (In so doing, the commissioner placed the 40 bed SNF in a larger size classification than a literal subdivision of the facility would have required.)
