Nursing Facilities Sample Clauses

Nursing Facilities. Nursing facility care, although a part of the care continuum, presents a challenge for managed care. Because of the process for becoming eligible for Medicaid assistance in a nursing facility, there is frequently a significant time gap between entry into the nursing home and determination of Medicaid eligibility. During this gap from entry to Medicaid eligibility, the resident has “nested” in the facility and many of the community supports are no longer available. To require participation of all nursing facility residents would result in the HMO maintaining a Member in the nursing facility without many options for managing their health. For this reason, persons who qualify for Medicaid as a result of nursing facility residency are not enrolled in STAR+PLUS. The STAR+PLUS HMO must participate in the Promoting Independence initiative for such individuals. Promoting Independence (PI) is a philosophy that aged and disabled individuals remain in the most integrated setting to receive long-term care services. PI is Texas' response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Xxxxxxxx v. X.X. that requires states to provide community-based services for persons with disabilities who would otherwise be entitled to institutional services, when: • the state's treatment professionals determine that such placement is appropriate; • the affected persons do not oppose such treatment; and • the placement can be reasonably accommodated, taking into account the resources available to the state and the needs of others who are receiving state supported disability services. In accordance with legislative direction, the HMO must designate a point of contact to receive referrals for nursing facility residents who may potentially be able to return to the community through the use of 1915(c) Nursing Facility Waiver services. To be eligible for this option, an individual must reside in a nursing facility until a written plan of care for safely moving the resident back into a community setting has been developed and approved. A STAR+PLUS Member who enters a nursing facility will remain a STAR+PLUS Member for a total of four months. The nursing facility will xxxx the state directly for covered nursing facility services delivered while the Member is in the nursing facility. See Section 8.3.2.7 for further information.
