This issue of the CILA Rates Update represents data through June 30, 2021. Please Note: The financial numbers (dollar amounts) reported in this edition of the CILA Rates Annual Update have increased because of recent increases to rate and wage funding levels. However, Topline Rates remain approximately 5 percent higher due to continued temporary rate and rate formula changes implemented last fiscal year due to COVID-19. Temporary COVID-19 adjustments changed during fiscal year 2021 and some COVID-19 premiums remain in effect on June 30, 2021 when the data for this report was developed. A comparison of FY20 reimbursement averages to FY21 will show a decrease as some funding changes switched from being paid in the 60D CILA rates to other billable supports under different bill codes. As such, a comparison to previous year's or future year's financial numbers may not be compared for an accurate change in last or next year's funding data.
