Title 130 CMR 438.000 - Continuous Skilled Nursing Agency
Section 438.421 - Denial of Services and Administrative Review

Universal Citation: 130 MA Code of Regs 130.438

Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

(A) A failure or refusal by a CSN agency to furnish services that have been ordered by the member's attending physician or ordering non-physician practitioner and are within the range of payable services, constitutes a violation of 130 CMR 438.000 for which administrative sanctions may be imposed, with the exception of instances where the CSN agency does not have nursing availability to provide services.

(B) When a CSN agency believes that services ordered by the attending physician or ordering non-physician practitioner are not payable under 130 CMR 438.000, the CSN agency must refer the matter to the MassHealth agency for a payment decision. If and to the extent the MassHealth agency determines that the ordered services are payable, the CSN agency must provide those services.
