Disqualifying characteristics are defined as: (A) The applicant has been convicted of a felony offense in any state or federal court arising out of conduct involving the operation or management of a long-term care facility or other health care facility or the provision or receipt of health care;(B) The applicant has ever knowingly acted or knowingly failed to perform any duty which materially and adversely affected the health, safety, welfare or property of a resident of a long-term care facility, while acting in a management capacity; or(C) The applicant is under exclusion from participation in the Title XVIII (Medicare) or Title XIX (Medicaid) program of any state or territory.(3) Once a completed application is received and approved, the person will be placed on the list of qualified receivers.
