The level of care for Title XIX and Title XXI payment purposes is determined by the Department. Necessity for payment is determined in accordance with 42 CFR 483 Subpart C and Section 1919(e) (7) of the Social Security Act. In the event a required Level II screen was not accomplished prior to admission, entitlement for Medicaid payment as established by the BLTC will not be earlier than the date the Level II screen is completed, indicating that nursing facility placement is appropriate.
