25 | A Case Management visit was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) K. Mcclurg with Interim Administrator (IAdmin) during a Complaint visit. The purpose of the Case Management was to review requirements & process to request a Hospice Waiver.
Facility currently has Hospice Waiver for 3. Hospice waiver for 3 is currently full. An existing resident would like to return to facility, however is now needing hospice care services. There is not available waiver for resident, so would like to expand Waiver.
Reviewed Hospice Waiver process & how to request an increase, & if currently appropriate for the facility at this time.
Hospice Waiver Exception process reviewed, including additional documentation for resident to be included with request & submitted to the Department
Facility Hospice Waiver is specific to a facility vs. Hospice Waiver Exception is specific to a resident.
Explained that request is not guaranteed to be granted & that each type of request takes time for the Department to appropriately review for approval or denial.
IAdmin agrees to not take in any new or existing residents that need hospice care services during request process. Should facility accept resident admission or return prior to obtaining approved Waiver or Exception the facility will be out of compliance & will be cited accordingly.
Exit interview conducted with IAdmin. Report provided. |
