Affected: IC 12-13-7-3; IC 12-15
Sec. 1.
(a) As used in 405 IAC 1-19 and this rule, "long term care facility" means any of the following: (b) For Medicaid provider agreement purposes, the provider is the party directly or ultimately responsible for operating the business enterprise. This party is legally responsible for decisions and liabilities in a business management sense. The same party also bears the final responsibility for operational decisions made in the capacity of a governing body and for the consequences of those decisions.(c) Whether the owner of the provider enterprise (provider) owns the premises or rents or leases the premises from a landlord or lessor is immaterial. However, if the provider enters into an agreement, which allows the landlord to make or participate in decisions about the ongoing operation of the provider enterprise, this indicates that the provider has entered into either a partnership agreement or a management agency agreement instead of a property lease. A new partnership agreement constitutes a change of ownership.Office ofthe Secretary of Family and Social Services; 405 IAC 1-20-1; filed Apr 17, 2003, 5:15 p.m.: 26 IR 2866; readopted filed Sep 19, 2007, 12:16 p.m.: 20071010-IR-405070311RFA; readopted filed Oct 28, 2013, 3:18 p.m.: 20131127-IR-405130241RFAFiled 8/1/2016, 3:44 p.m.: 20160831-IR-405150418FRAReadopted filed 7/28/2022, 2:21 p.m.: 20220824-IR-405220205RFAReadopted filed 5/30/2023, 11:54 a.m.: 20230628-IR-405230292RFA
