When a nursing home resident first transitions to a managed care organization from the fee-for-service system or from another managed care organization, the managed care organization shall honor the existing care plan and any necessary changes to that care plan until the MCO has completed a comprehensive assessment and new care plan, to the extent such services are covered benefits under the contract, which shall be consistent with the requirements of the RAI Manual. When an enrollee of a managed care organization is moving from a community setting to a nursing home, and the MCO is properly notified of the proposed admission by a network nursing home, and the managed care organization fails to participate in developing a care plan within the time frames required by nursing home regulations, the MCO must honor a care plan developed by the nursing home until the MCO has completed a comprehensive assessment and a new care plan to the extent such services are covered benefits under the contract, consistent with the requirements of the RAI Manual. A nursing home shall have the ability to refuse admission of an enrollee for whom care is required that the nursing home determines is outside the scope of its license and healthcare capabilities.
