5119.691 Residential state supplement program patient determination.

On a periodic schedule determined by the department of mental health, each residential state supplement administrative agency shall determine whether individuals who reside in the area that the agency serves and are on a waiting list for the residential state supplement program have been admitted to a nursing facility. If a residential state supplement administrative agency determines that such an individual has been admitted to a nursing facility, the agency shall notify the long-term care consultation program administrator serving the area in which the individual resides about the determination. The administrator shall determine whether the residential state supplement program is appropriate for the individual and whether the individual would rather participate in the program than continue residing in the nursing facility. If the administrator determines that the residential state supplement program is appropriate for the individual and the individual would rather participate in the program than continue residing in the nursing facility, the administrator shall so notify the department of mental health. On receipt of the notice from the administrator, the department of mental health shall approve the individual's enrollment in the residential state supplement program in accordance with the priorities specified in rules adopted under division (G) of section 5119.69 of the Revised Code. Each quarter, the department of mental health shall certify to the director of budget and management the estimated increase in costs of the residential state supplement program resulting from enrollment of individuals in the program pursuant to this section.
