§ 1151.44. Allowable costs.
The Department uses Medicare principles as established by the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.A. § § 301—1399) and Federal regulations and instructions as a basis for determining what cost items are allowable for the purposes of MA reimbursement. In addition to the cost items allowable under 42 CFR Part 413 (relating to principles of reasonable cost reimbursement; payment for end-stage renal disease services), the Department recognizes costs for direct or indirect chaplaincy expenses related to patient care excluding training costs associated with the chaplaincy program.
