Accordingly recipients may not be excluded, denied, or refused health care services on the grounds of race, color, gender, age, national origin, religion, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, arrest record or diagnosis. This facility will conduct an internal review of appropriateness of placement for individuals with a diagnosis of MR, DD or MI.Approval of a Level II for these individuals will not be the only qualifier for admit. The facility may require a medical guardianship or at a minimum, a durable POA as terms for admission. The primary purpose and scope of the facility's programming is not designed to serve or meet the special needs of individuals with MR / DD requiring a custodial / immediate level of care. A determination for appropriateness of placement will be based on functional / acuity levels and the need for specialized skilled nursing services. (Revised 8/10/98) A. SERVICES AND CHARGES

Changes in charges, due to cost of living increases will be communicated in writing to the Resident or responsible party at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change.

Residents on Medicaid will have up to 24 days for their bed to be held during therapeutic leaves (July 1 - June 30). If therapeutic leave exceeds 24 days, they may lose the bed unless other parties may pay the daily charge to hold the room.
In situations where conditions of billing for holding a bed are not met, providers must hold the bed and may not bill Medicaid for the bed hold day until all conditions of billing are met and may not bill the resident under any circumstances.
