SAPSNF is an acronym for the Statewide Average Payment for Skilled Nursing Facility care.

l  This is the average amount paid by MA/GAMC on a monthly basis for a person in a long-term care facility (LTCF).

l  There are two different SAPSNF rates:  one for MA and one for GAMC.

l  The SAPSNF is used when determining a transfer penalty for either MA or GAMC.

Note:  The transfer penalty affects MA Payment of Long-Term Care (LTC) Services or GAMC eligibility.
