An MLOA is defined as an inpatient hospital stay of a recipient who is a resident of a nursing facility for up to 10 consecutive days at a Medicare hospital level of care. MassHealth regulations also specify that Medicaid will pay for temporary absences for residents of nursing facilities for up to 15 days per calendar year when the resident is absent from the facility for nonmedical reasons. For purposes of determining these nonmedical leaves of absence (NMLOA), a calendar year begins on the date of the resident's first NMLOA.
