Rates and Payment

Cost

Basic Care:

Room and board charges for basic care are calculated at 55% of your net income. Your net income is based upon your income less allowable medical expenses. There is a cap on rent of 49% of the basic care cost of care calculated on the Veterans Home’s yearly cost report. Currently the cap is $1,543. Spouses of veterans will be charged the maximum rate.

Other charges that may incur are:

Haircuts
Travel – Per VA eligibility
Pharmacy-Per VA Co-Pay regulations
Basic Voice Mail
Basic Cable- $6.00 must provide own television (Optional)

Skilled Care:

Skilled care residents are charged a daily rate as developed by the State of North Dakota Human Services Case Mix System. The North Dakota Veterans Home completes an MDS assessment on each new admission within 14 days. This information is then transmitted to the State of North Dakota so a case mix level can be assigned. The case mix level determines the daily rate that will be charged.

The North Dakota Veterans Home pre-bills room and board charges at the lowest case mix level. Rent will be calculated using the lowest case mix level on the day of admission and payment will be due at that time. Once we have received the case mix level assigned from the State of North Dakota we will correct the billing and any additional charges will be due on the next bill.

Other charges that may incur are:

Pharmacy-Per VA Co-Pay regulations
