In accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code (R.C.), the Director of the Department of Health is proposing changes to the following Ohio Administrative Code (O.A.C.) rules:

 

O.A.C. Chapter 3701-63 - Appeal of Denial/Revocation of LTC Facility Certification

 

By authority of R.C. 119.04 and to satisfy five-year review requirements, the Director proposes to amend O.A.C. rules 3701-63-01, which sets forth the process for Medicaid certification by a long-term care facility, and rule 3701-63-02, which sets forth the process for ODH to issue a plan of correction to a nursing facility, and the process by which a facility may seek informal review of those deficiencies. The rules are amended to update Revise Code cross references and to replace the term "facility for the mentally retarded" with "facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities."

ODH previously announced that two other rules will be open for public comment on 10/17/2016: 3701:1-38-01 - "Definitions" from the Chapter on General Radiation Protection Standards for Sources of Radiation; and
