Section 388-96-505. Offset of miscellaneous revenues.

(1) The contractor shall reduce allowable costs whenever the item, service, or activity covered by such costs generates revenue or financial benefits (e.g., purchase discounts, refunds of allowable costs or rebates) other than through the contractor's normal billing for care services; except, the department shall not deduct from the allowable costs of a nonprofit facility unrestricted grants, gifts, and endowments, and interest therefrom.

(2) The contractor shall reduce allowable costs for hold-bed revenue in the support services, operations and property rate components only. In the support services rate component, the amount of reduction shall be determined by dividing a facility's allowable housekeeping costs by total adjusted patient days and multiplying the result by total hold-room days. In the operations rate component, the amount of the reduction shall be determined by dividing a facility's allowable operation costs by total adjusted patient days and multiplying the result by total hold-room days. In the property rate component, the amount of reduction shall be determined by dividing allowable property costs by the total adjusted patient days and multiplying the result by total hold-room days.

(3) Where goods or services are sold, the amount of the reduction shall be the actual cost relating to the item, service, or activity. In the absence of adequate documentation of cost, it shall be the full amount of the revenue received. Where financial benefits such as purchase discounts, refunds of allowable costs or rebates are received, the amount of the reduction shall be the amount of the discount or rebate. Financial benefits such as purchase discounts, refunds of allowable costs and rebates, including industrial insurance rebates, shall be offset against allowable costs in the year the contractor actually receives the benefits.

(4) Only allowable costs shall be recovered under this section. Costs allocable to activities or services not included in nursing facility services, e.g., costs of vending machines and services specified in chapter 388-86 WAC not included in nursing facility services, are nonallowable costs.
