Medicaid-Long Term Care Srvces

Abstract

Amends the Hospital Licensing Act. Provides that a patient discharged to a skilled nursing facility who is not assessed prior to discharge or whose pre-screening information does not accompany the patient to the skilled nursing facility shall (i) be admitted to the skilled nursing facility pending the case coordination unit completing a post-screening evaluation or the delivery of the pre-screening information to the skilled nursing facility and (ii) be eligible for Medicaid funded care from the date of admission if the patient meets all eligibility criteria for medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code. Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that a nursing home resident determined to be eligible for medical assistance for long term care services shall be entitled to have his or her care paid retroactive to the date of admission to a nursing home or the date the resident converted from Medicare or private funds as a payer source if it is determined that the resident met the financial eligibility standards for medical assistance on the date of admission or conversion and the admission or conversion date is within the retroactive window established under the Code. Provides that an outstanding application for medical assistance for long term care services shall not be closed or denied based solely on the applicant's death or the absence of certain documentation if services authorized under the Code were provided pending a determination of eligibility. Provides that a nursing home resident who is unable to comply in securing financial documents requested by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to prove financial eligibility shall be assigned a long term care ombudsman to assist the resident in securing medical assistance.
