A nursing home may request a waiver of permit requirements from the Department if no Medicaid patients are waiting for admission to the nursing home, or if for some other reason a nursing home anticipates that the home cannot satisfy the Medicaid nursing home permit requirements. Applicants must document the reasons for such a waiver. Community Long Term Care (CLTC) waiting list data may be used as an indicator.
