(1) a nursing home exceeding by more than ten (10) percent the number of Medicaid patient days stated in its permit;

(2) a nursing home failing to provide at least ninety (90) percent of the number of Medicaid patient days stated in its permit;

(3) the provision of any Medicaid patient days by a nursing home without a Medicaid nursing home permit.
