473 NAC 5-007.06A

De-institutionalization of a Medicaid client residing in a skilled nursing facility (SNF), intermediate care facility (ICF), or intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded (ICF/MR) is the joint responsibility of Medical Services, Income Maintenance, and, when requested, Social Services. This action is appropriate when a client's medical or social needs no longer require nursing facility care and another living arrangement is determined more appropriate.

This subsection provides staff with instructions to follow in the de-institutionalization process.
