Section 21.29 - Redetermination of provider eligibility and recertification of domiciliary care homes
Universal Citation: 6 PA Code ยง 21.29
Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
The following process shall be used to redetermine the eligibility of providers and recertify domiciliary care homes:
(1) The provider is responsible for:
(i) Permitting access to the home for the AAA
to conduct follow-up interviews and inspections. The AAA may inspect the home
to ensure that it complies with this chapter. This inspection shall occur
during normal business hours.
(ii)
Permitting access to the home for the AAA for emergency visits. These visits
may occur anytime and may be based upon a report of a client in need of
protective services, investigation of a death or injury to a client or
occurrence of an unusual incident.
(iii) Notifying the AAA of a change in the
provider's situation or home standards which may affect the eligibility of the
provider or certification of the home. The eligibility requirements in
§§
21.26 and
21.28 (relating to domiciliary care
home provider eligibility; and provider application and home certification
process) are of a continuing nature and it is the obligation of the provider to
meet these standards on a continuing basis. Failure to comply with this
subparagraph renders the provider ineligible.
(2) The AAA is responsible for:
(i) Annual redetermination of provider
eligibility using the criteria in §
21.26 during a face-to-face
interview with the provider.
(ii)
Annual recertification of the home using the standards in either §
21.27 or §
21.30 (relating to domiciliary care
home certification and recertification standards; and special program and
recertification standards for domiciliary care homes with four or more
clients), depending upon how many clients reside in the home, during a site
inspection conducted by the AAA.
