Bill Summary

Relative to nursing home admissions for individuals from birth to age twenty-two in need of long-term inpatient skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 111 of the General Laws to require individuals from birth to age 22 in need of long-term inpatient skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to obtain certification from the Department's Multi-Disciplinary Medical Review Team prior to admission to a nursing home. However, individuals in need of short-term (up to one year) inpatient skilled nursing and rehabilitation services can be admitted to a nursing home upon referral from their primary care physician or hospital discharge team without the need for review team certification. The bill also specifies the composition and responsibilities of the Medical Review Team in assessing applicants' needs and referring them to appropriate alternative care programs if certification is denied.
