Sec. 1.1.
As used in this rule, "nursing facility services" means services ordered by and under the direction of a physician, which can only be provided on an inpatient basis in a certified nursing facility that meets conditions of participation in 42 CFR 440.150, 42 CFR 440.155, and 42 CFR 483. Members requiring nursing facility level of care are those who do not require the degree of care and treatment that a hospital provides, but who, because of their mental or physical condition, require care and services above the level of room and board.
