Section 17b-262-788 - Applied income(a) A client who receives chronic disease hospital services is responsible for paying applied income to the chronic disease hospital.(b) The department shall calculate the applied income. The department shall notify the chronic disease hospital of the amount of any applied income that the chronic disease hospital is responsible for collecting. Applied income shall be deducted from what otherwise would have been the department's monthly payment to the chronic disease hospital.(c) The chronic disease hospital shall notify the department's caseworker of any errors in the amount of applied income processed against the claim using the form specified by the department. Payment adjustments resulting from retroactive applied income corrections shall be processed periodically.(d) In any month that a resident returns to the community or dies, and the cost of care is less than the applied income, the department shall adjust the applied income as follows: the applied income shall equal the number of days that the resident was in the chronic disease hospital multiplied by the per diem rate.(e) Applied income is not pro rated. It is used to cover the cost of care until it is expended.Conn. Agencies Regs. § 17b-262-788
