Bed Hold Policy. Rim Country Health and Retirement Community will assure that the resident/family/legal representative will receive written information related to the facility bed-hold policy at the time of admission, prior to transfer to another medical facility, before allowing the resident to go on a therapeutic leave and at the time any change is made under the State plan or facility policy. The information provided will specify the duration of the bed-hold policy under the State plan, if any, during which the resident is permitted to return to the facility and the nursing facility policy regarding bed-hold periods and guidelines. Guidelines: • Upon admission to the facility the resident/family/legal representative facility staff will review the bed-hold policy. • A copy of the bed-hold policy will be attached to the transfer form so that it will be sent with the paperwork at the time of transfer. A copy of both will be placed in the resident’s medical record. • The facility bed-hold policy will apply to all residents. • In the case of emergency transfer, when the written policy is not sent with the resident, a written notice to the family or legal representative will be provided within 24 hours of the transfer. • Bed-hold days of absence in excess of the State bed-hold limit that is determined by the individual payer are considered non-covered days, which means that the resident could use his/her own income to pay for the bed-hold. • Non-Medicaid residents will be requested to pay for all days of bed-hold. • Any resident whose hospitalization or therapeutic leave exceeds the bed-hold period under the State plan, will be readmitted to the facility immediately upon the first availability of a bed in a semi-private room if the resident requires the services provided by the facility and if the resident is eligible for Medicaid nursing facility services. • Medicaid-eligible residents will be admitted to the first available bed even if the resident has an outstanding Medicaid balance. • Once readmitted, these residents with an outstanding balance may be transferred if the facility can demonstrate that non-payment of charges exists and documentation and notice requirements are followed.
