Bed Hold Charges Sample Clauses

Bed Hold Charges. The facility will reserve the bed of a private-pay resident who has been transferred to a hospital as long as payment is available at the applicable private pay rate to reserve the bed. The resident agrees that, in the event of such a transfer, the facility shall reserve the bed and that payment will be made for reserving the bed until such time as the facility is notified by the resident or responsible party that the bed should no longer be reserved. In the case of a Medicaid-assisted resident, the facility will reserve the bed for up to seven days as long as the facility has not received information that the resident is not expected to return to the facility. The facility also will reserve the bed for up to an additional eight days as long as the facility has not received information that the resident is not expected to return to the facility. If a Medicaid-assisted resident wishes to reserve his or her bed during a period of hospitalization for any other or longer period of time, the bed will be reserved as long as payment is made at the facility's usual Medicaid per diem rate. The Medicare program does not pay for reserving a bed during hospitalization. The resident's underlying source of payment (private pay or Medicaid) will govern reserving a bed when a resident receiving Medicare Part A benefits is transferred to a hospital.
