Room and Board Daily Rate — Check the box for either Residential Care Apartment or Residential Care Non-Apartment. Enter the appropriate dollar amount in the data field to the right. Tab to the next field and the form will calculate the monthly amount of room and board by multiplying by 30.4, the average number of days in a month. Enter this amount on Form 2065-A, Notification of Community Care Services, as the ongoing amount of room and board.

Step 3. Calculation of Personal Needs Allowance

The personal needs allowance (PNA) for individuals in Residential Care is a set amount based on the type of income and assistance available to the individual. All individuals receive a personal expense allowance of $93.00. However, the medical expense allowance is adjusted based on the type of assistance the individual receives.

Enter Medical Expense Allowance — Check the appropriate box to indicate the type of income and assistance available to the individual based on the following chart. Enter the appropriate dollar amount in the data field to the right. Tab to the next field and the form will calculate by adding the appropriate dollar amount and the Personal Expense Allowance, which is the total monthly amount of PNA.

If the individual is a full Medicaid recipient, use the allowances under Medicaid Individual.

If the individual is a Qualified Medical Beneficiary (QMB) or has Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB), use the allowances under the QMB Non-Medicaid Individual.

If the individual is non-Medicaid and does not have QMB or SLMB, use the allowances under Non-Medicaid Individual.

AllowanceMedicaid IndividualQMB Non-Medicaid 
Individual
Non-Medicaid 
Individual
Personal Needs Allowance (PNA)$93.00$93.00$93.00
Medical Expense Allowance$30.00$89.00$118.00
Total Monthly PNA$123.00$182.00$211.00

Total Personal Needs Allowance — Tab to the next field and the form will calculate the medical expense plus the standard personal expense allowance for the total PNA.

Step 4. Calculation of Monthly Copayment

Total Countable Income – Room and Board – Total PNA = Monthly Copayment — Tab to the next field and the form will calculate the monthly copayment by deducting the room and board amount and the PNA amount from the individual's net income. This total is the individual's monthly copayment. Enter this amount on Form 2065-A, Notification of Community Care Services, as the ongoing amount of copayment and on Form 2101, Authorization for Community Care Services, Item 21. Ongoing Amt.

Step 5. Prorated Calculations

If the individual enters the facility on any day other than the first of the month, the room and board amount and copayment are prorated for the number of days the individual is in the facility.

Initial Month of — Enter the initial month and year of entry into the Residential Care facility.

Days in Initial Month — Enter the number of days in the month of entry into the facility.

Day of Admission — Enter the date the individual enters the facility.

Days of Service – Initial Month — Enter the number of days the individual is in the facility during the initial month.

Available Funds — Enter the amount the individual has reported as available funds (individual's cash on hand, plus any liquid resources from checking accounts, savings accounts, etc.). Since the individual is moving into the facility on a date other than the first of the month, he may have already used his monthly income before moving into the facility. The available funds are considered in determining the prorated copayment amount.

Room and Board Prorated Calculation

Room and Board Daily Rate — Enter the room and board daily rate from Step 2.

Days of Service in Initial Month — Enter the number of days of service in the initial month.

Prorated Room and Board — Tab to the next field and the form calculates the room and board daily rate times the days of service in initial month, the prorated amount of room and board. Enter this amount on Form 2065-A, Notification of Community Care Services, as the initial amount of room and board.

Prorated Copayment

Two calculations are performed to determine the amount of the prorated copayment the individual will pay for the initial month. Copayment A is prorated from the monthly copayment. Copayment B is based on the personal needs allowance and funds the individual has available, rather than on income received during the month. The lower result of the two calculations will be the individual's copayment amount.

Prorated Copayment A

Monthly Copayment Amount — Enter the total from Step 4.

Days in the Initial Month — Enter the number of days in the initial month.

Daily Copayment Rate — Tab to the next field and the form will calculate the daily rate.

Days of Service in Initial Month — Enter the number of days of service in the initial month.

Prorated Copayment A — Tab to the next field and the form will calculate the prorated copayment amount.

Prorated Copayment B

Monthly PNA — Enter the amount of the personal needs allowance from Step 3.

Days in the Initial Month — Enter the number of days in the initial month.

Daily Copayment Rate — Tab to the next field and the form will calculate the daily rate.

Days of Service in the Initial Month — Enter the number of days of service in the initial month.

Prorated PNA

Enter Available Funds — Enter amount of available funds listed in Step 5.

Available Funds – Prorated PNA — Tab to the next field and the form will calculate available funds minus prorated PNA, for the Prorated Copayment B amount.

Compare the prorated Copayment A to the prorated Copayment B. The individual pays the lesser amount. Enter this amount on Form 2065-A, Notification of Community Care Services, as the initial amount of copayment and on Form 2101, Authorization for Community Care Services, Item 21, Initial Amount.
