Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 76909.1 - Bed Hold
(a) If a
client of an intermediate care facility/developmentally disabled habilitative
is transferred to a general acute care hospital as defined in Section
1250(a)
of the Health and Safety Code, the intermediate care facility/developmentally
disabled habilitative shall afford the client a bed hold of seven (7) days,
which may be exercised by the client or the client's representative.
(1) Upon transfer to a general acute care
hospital, the client or the client's representative shall notify the
intermediate care facility/developmentally disabled habilitative within
twenty-four (24) hours after being informed of the right to have the bed held,
if the client desires the bed-hold.
(2) Except as provided in Section
51535.1, Title 22, California
Administrative Code, any client who exercises the bed-hold option shall be
liable to pay reasonable charges, not to exceed the client's daily rate for
care in the facility, for bed-hold days.
(3) If the client's attending physician
notifies the intermediate care facility/developmentally disabled habilitative
in writing that the client's stay in the general acute care hospital is
expected to exceed seven (7) days, the intermediate care
facility/developmentally disabled habilitative shall not be required to
maintain the bed-hold.
(b) Upon admission of the client to the
intermediate care facility/developmentally disabled habilitative and upon
transfer of the client of an intermediate care facility/developmentally
disabled habilitative to a general acute care hospital, the intermediate care
facility/developmentally disabled habilitative shall inform the client, or the
client's representative, in writing of the right to exercise this bed-hold
provision. No later than June 1, 1985, every intermediate care
facility/developmentally disabled habilitative shall inform each current client
or client's representative in writing of the right to exercise the bed hold
provision. Each notice shall include information that a non-Medi-Cal eligible
client will be liable for the cost of the bed-hold days, and that insurance may
or may not cover such costs.
(c) A
licensee who fails to meet these requirements shall offer to the client the
next available bed appropriate for the client's needs. This requirement shall
be in addition to any other remedies provided by law.
