BILL · 2007–08 SESSION
SB 6944: Long-term care facilities
Restricting long-term care facilities.
Summary
- A boarding home's voluntary withdrawal from the Medicaid program is not an acceptable basis for the transfer or discharge of persons who are Medicaid eligible and have been residing in the boarding home on the day before the effective date of the withdrawal. This is identical to the recommended substitute SB 6807 considered by the Senate Health & Long-Term Care Committee.
