ALTSA: NH Rates #2023-002 RE: Barber and Beauty Services – Updated from NH#2003-032

DSHS has issued a Dear Administrator letter in regards to barber and beauty services in skilled nursing facilities. You can find a copy of the letter here.

Please remember that routine personal hair and nail hygiene services, when performed by facility employees as part of routine grooming care, are allowable costs to be reported on the facility’s Medicaid cost report as routine services. If a resident chooses to have a professional provide these services, you must document the residents decision and that they agree to pay for these services and that these services may be charged against their trust account.

For more information, please refer to the Dear Administrator letter.
