| (a) The Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) may
continue payments for no more than 30 days from the date DHS cancels
a facility's provider agreement if DHS determines that:
(1) reasonable efforts are being made to transfer the
residents to another facility, to community care, or to other alternate
care; and
(2) additional time is needed to effect an orderly
transfer of the residents.
(b) When a facility's provider agreement is terminated
by DHS, the department will not enter into another provider agreement
with the facility until 30 days have expired. If the facility reapplies
for a provider agreement, DHS conducts an on-site visit to determine
if the facility is complying with Medicaid requirements. If the
facility is complying with Medicaid requirements and a provider agreement
with the facility is not prohibited by DHS debarment rules, DHS enters
into a provider agreement with the facility. This remedy will be applied
in any category which results in the termination of the provider agreement.
