Section 455IAC1-1-1. Purpose

   The purpose of the health facility preadmission screening program is to determine whether there are community services available for individuals who need assistance with the tasks of daily living that would be more appropriate than care in a health facility and, if so, to deny permission to enter a health facility unless the individual is willing to forego eligibility for certain Medicaid reimbursement for a period of time beginning from the date of admission as specified in IC 12-10-12-33 and IC 12-10-12-34.
