R414-501-12. Alternative Services Evaluation and Referral

While reviewing a preadmission assessment for admission to a nursing care facility, other than an ICF/MR, the Department may evaluate the potential for the nursing facility applicant to receive alternative Medicaid services in a home or community-based setting that are appropriate for the needs of the individual identified in the preadmission submittals. If there appears to be a potential for alternative Medicaid services, with the permission of the nursing facility applicant, the nursing facility will refer the name of the nursing facility applicant to one or more designated Medicaid home and community-based services program representatives for follow-up contact with the nursing facility applicant.
