(1) Any
person transferred from a facility voluntarily or involuntarily shall have the
right of readmission to the facility from which the person was transferred,
provided that:
(a) A request for readmission
is made within 180 days of the date of transfer;
(b) The person is eligible by means of
payment and requires nursing facility care; and
(c) No determination was made at informal
conference or hearing that the person does not have the right of readmission.
(2) Section (1) of this
rule does not require a facility to accept a person in a bed located in a room
which is occupied by a resident of the opposite sex at the time of the request.
EXCEPTION: A facility is required to accept a
person to a room occupied by a resident of the opposite sex if the respective
resident previously shared a room in the facility and if neither resident
objects to the admission.
(3) Section (1) of this rule does not require
a facility to accept a person who voluntarily transferred from the facility
directly to another nursing facility.
(4) If a person or his or her legal
representative request readmission, and the facility denies readmission, then
the facility shall give written notice (SDS 0510).
(5) A former resident who receives Medicaid
does not have the right to be readmitted to a facility which is not Medicaid
certified unless reimbursement is available pursuant to OAR
411-070-0010.
(6) If more than one person has a right of
readmission, priority in allocation of vacancies shall be determined by the
earliest date of application for readmission.
(7) A person whose stay in the facility
totals 30 or fewer days and was transferred pursuant to OAR
411-088-0070(1)(d)
(post-hospital extended care services or
specialized services) may not have a right of readmission.
