Patient RightsQuestion 17 of 200
A resident receives a 30-day notice of involuntary transfer to another facility. Which is true of the resident's rights?
a.The resident has no right to appeal
b.The facility may transfer the resident immediately if Medicaid stops paying
c.The resident has the right to written notice (generally 30 days), the reason, the right to appeal to the state, and bed-hold rights
d.Only the family may appeal
Explanation
42 CFR §483.15(c) and HSC §1599.61 require written notice of involuntary transfer or discharge, usually 30 days in advance, stating the reason and informing the resident of the right to appeal to the California Department of Health Care Services state hearing. Permissible reasons are limited (welfare, no longer needs services, endangerment, nonpayment, facility closure). The resident—and a representative—may appeal; lack of appeal rights (a), immediate transfer (b), and family-only appeal (d) are incorrect.
