2026 Reimbursement Collaborative: Strategic Solutions for QIP and PDPM Success - Inside the Numbers: Understanding Ohio’s Medicaid Rate Structure

January 15, 2026 | Live Webinar 

Through the LeadingAge Ohio Reimbursement Collaborative, we help providers prove that it's not only possible to achieve high quality ratings and strong reimbursement, but also strategic. High quality and high case mix aren’t mutually exclusive. This collaborative shows how aligning core strategies can strengthen both, because quality and reimbursement should work hand in hand. Additionally, LeadingAge Ohio is excited to share that participants will meet the new Ohio Administrative Code language for the Nursing Home Quality Initiative found in Chapter 173-60 of the OAC by participating in this collaborative. 

The Reimbursement Collaborative will support nursing homes in responding to Ohio’s changes in Medicaid reimbursement. This collaborative will focus on aligning strategies that impact both quality performance and reimbursement outcomes. Each session will help participants identify where QIP measures and PDPM classifications intersect and how system-level changes can drive improvement across both. Participants will also receive facility-specific QIP and PDPM reports to guide data-driven decision-making throughout the series.

We will explore Ohio’s Medicaid reimbursement approach for this fiscal year, focusing on how QIP and PDPM collectively shape facility payment. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how these components come together to determine each nursing home’s Medicaid rate and how this foundational knowledge can be used to begin educating teams and strengthening leadership alignment.
