Providers of swing bed care must execute a Nursing Facility/Patient Agreement for each Medicaid patient on admission and when any financial terms change. This agreement is executed for patients already eligible for Medicaid and patients who are applying for Medicaid eligibility. The patient or sponsor will be furnished a copy of the completed agreement and a copy is maintained in the facility's files for audit purposes. Refer to 560-X-10-.12 for additional information on patient agreements.
