Illinois § 3-411

§ 3-411.

The Department of Public Health, when the basis for involuntary transfer or discharge is other than action by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Department of Public Aid) with respect to the Title XIX Medicaid recipient, shall hold a hearing at the resident's facility not later than 10 days after a hearing request is filed, and render a decision within 14 days after the filing of the hearing request. (Source: P.A. 95-331, eff. 8-21-07.) (Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 104-191) Sec. 3-411. The Department of Public Health, when the basis for involuntary transfer or discharge is other than action by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Department of Public Aid) with respect to the Title XIX Medicaid recipient, shall hold a hearing at the resident's facility not later than 10 days after a hearing request is filed, and render a decision within 14 days after the filing of the hearing request. The Department has continuing jurisdiction over the transfer or discharge irrespective of the timing of the hearing and decision. Once a request for a hearing is filed, the Department shall hold a hearing unless the request is withdrawn by the resident. If the request for a hearing is withdrawn based upon a representation made by the facility to the resident and the Department, including the hearing officer, that a resident who has been denied readmission will be readmitted, and the resident or resident representative notifies the Department that the facility is still denying readmission, failure to readmit is considered failure to comply with a Department order to readmit pursuant to Section 3-305.6, including the imposition of a $2,500 fine under Section 3-305.6.
