Section 8.371.9.9 - TRANSFER

A. A person may be transferred to another ICF/MR operated by the same entity, or an ICF/MR that operates independent of the ICF/MR where the person currently resides without referral through the central registry, provided:

(1) the person's interdisciplinary team recommends the transfer;

(2) the person's transfer is based on the person's freedom of choice of providers; and

(3) the receiving ICF/MR has identified a vacancy.

B. An ICF/MR may transfer a person temporarily to a psychiatric acute care hospital, or temporarily to a nursing facility for care following a hospital stay. Persons returning to the ICF/MR under these conditions will be classified a "readmission" and will not be subject to pre-screening by the HCA.

C. Persons receiving services from an ICF/MR may be transferred to a home and communitybased waiver program provided the person has been allocated to the program by the HCA in accordance with central registry policies and procedures.

D. The ICF/MR shall provide a complete copy of the person's medical and service records, including assessments required for individual program planning to the ICF/MR or community to which the person is transferred.
