16 Del. Admin. Code § 20000-20680
If a recipient's condition changes and he requires a nursing facility level of care that the facility is not certified to provide or the recipient no longer needs nursing facility care, the vendor payment must be terminated. From the time it is determined that the recipient is inappropriately placed he or she will be given a 30 day planning period to secure alternate placement.
The Long Term Care Coordinator will determine the planning period and notify the recipient's facility in writing. She will contact the case worker who will notify the recipient's responsible party, first of the need to transfer the recipient and second, that failure to make the transfer will result in case closing. If the level of care reverts back to a level appropriate to the current facility before the 30 days expire, payments will not be terminated.
