title: Medicaid program; appeals from cancellation of approval of Medicaid long-term care facilities--HCFA. Final rule.
abstract: This rule corrects an oversight by setting forth time limits for new issues that may be considered by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) during a hearing afforded a Medicaid skilled nursing facility (SNF) or intermediate care facility (ICF) because the Secretary proposes to cancel its approval under section 1910(c)(1) of the Social Security Act (the Act). This amendment is necessary because current rules do not take account of the fact that hearings under section 1910(c) of the Act (unlike Medicare hearings) may take place before the cancellation is put into effect. The purpose is to establish time limits appropriate to section 1910(c) situations.
