Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024

Payment may continue to be made to a facility that has temporarily transferred patients, as the result or threat of a strike or disaster situation, to the closest medical institution able to meet the patients' needs, if the institution receiving the patients is licensed and certified to provide the required level of care. If the facility transferring the patients can demonstrate that there is no certified facility available for the safe and orderly transfer of the patients, the payments may be made so long as the institution receiving the patients is certifiable and licensed to provide the required level of care. If the facility to which the patients are transferred has a different interim per diem rate, the transferring facility will be reimbursed at the lower rate. The facility shall immediately notify the Department, Office of Medical Assistance Programs, in writing of an impending strike or a disaster situation and follow with a listing of MA patients and the facility to which they will be or were transferred.
