Nursing home patients may not be involuntarily discharged or transferred due to the Medicaid status. If no Medicaid patients are waiting for admission to the nursing home, or if for some other reason a nursing home anticipates the possibility that the home cannot satisfy the Medicaid nursing home permit requirements, the home may request a waiver of the Medicaid permit requirements from the department.
