GR 45-118.2 Process
How is the case processed?
The case is processed as follows:
• A record of the contacts with the doctor,
individual and facility documenting the expected
discharge date and the individual’s intention to
return to the same B&C facility are entered in
Case Comments.
• B&C is not paid to the facility and the personal,
incidental and clothing allowance is not paid to
the individual for the period of time the individual
is hospitalized.
NOTE: The B&C facility should not have the
individual’s signature on the ABP 320-2
for the period of hospitalization.
• If the individual returns to the B&C facility, the
personal, incidental and clothing allowance is
prorated, manually by the Worker, for the
remaining days in the month.
• If the individual does not leave the medical facility
as expected during the second month, the case is
terminated, manually by the Worker, the end of
the month following the month of the individual’s
entry into the hospital.
• When the individual enters a medical facility, the
payment to the B&C facility is stopped and must
be restarted, manually by the worker, when the
individual returns.
