Rhode Island S3027 exempts assisted living communities from holding beds for Medicare-eligible residents absent for over 10 days unless Medicaid.

Rhode Island S3027 modifies Medicaid bed hold requirements for assisted living communities. The bill specifies that these communities are not obligated to reserve a bed for a Medicare-eligible resident absent for more than 10 days unless the executive office of health and human services provides a Medicaid bed hold payment. This payment must be at least 50% of the resident's assessed Medicaid assisted living reimbursement rate. The bill also limits the total unpaid bed hold period for Medicaid residents to 45 days.
