FACIUTY POLICY REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION
OF PATIENT SELF-DETERMINATION ACT
The following information is being provided to the Resident as a result of a Federal law which requires cer-
tain health care institutions. including nursing homes, to disclose to the Resident his or her rights under
Fedeml and State law to make decisions regarding his or her health care. .
This Facility recognizes the dignity and value of each Resident's life and the right of each Resident to make
decisions regarding his or her care. Where a Resident is incompetent. this Facility recognizes the Resident's
right to have these decisions made on his/her behalf by a substitute decision-maker in accordance with State
law.
This Facility recognizes the right of each Resident to utilize those advance directives recognized under State
law and will honor advance directives developed in accordance with State law and consistent with the level
of care this Facility is licensed to provide. An advance directive is a written document that states choices for
health care and/or names someone to make those choices. These choices may include the refusal of certain
types of care. A Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care are examples of advance
directives.
An advance directive is not necessary in order to be admitted to or to continue to reside in this Facility.
However. if the Resident has an advance directive. he or she must make it known to the Facility's
Administrator or designee so that it can be reviewed and made a part of his or her medical record.
Questions about the Facility's policies regarding health care decision-making and/or advance directives may
be presented to the Facility Administrator. Questions regarding whether to execute an advance directive or
about its content should be discussed \~'ith the Resident's family. physician. and attorney.

r Ms. Johns.
This is to inform you that SeniorBlue has determined that you are no longer eligible for
continued care in a skilled nursing facility. Based upon our review of your medical condition, it
does not appear that you meet Medicare guidelines for continued skilled nursing care. Skilled
care must be furnished by or under the supervision of skilled personnel to assure the safety of the
patient and to achieve the medically appropriate result. However, when an individual does not
require skilled nursing services on a daily basis or uthe daily services could effectively be
provided in an alternative setting, the services they do receive while in a skilled nursing facility
are not covered. Thus your continued stay in Camp Hill Care Center will not be covered as of
May 17, 1999, because you will not need skilled nursing care or skilled rehabilitation services on
a daily basis in an inpatient setting. If you choose to continue your stay in Camp Hill Care
Center, you will be responsible for the cost of all services provided by the facility except services
covered under Part B of Medicare.
Instead of care in a skilled nursing facility, we can provide the following covered services for
you: home care services should you return home or an outpatient therapy evaluation. Please
have your physician call our SeniorBlue Utilization Management department at 1-800-547-2273
if assistance is needed in coordinating care.
If you believe the determination is not correct, you have the right to request 3."l appe,u by
following the procedure listed below:
30 Day Appeal Process for Service Denials (60 Days for claims payment denials)
. If you want to file an appeal which will be processed within (30/60) days, do the following:
. File the request in wIjting with SeniorBlue at the following address: SeniorBlue Appeals -
Grievance Committee, PO Box 890164, and Camp Hill, P A 17089-0164.

Resolution) for a decision.
Expedited Appeal Process
We normally have 30 days to process your appeal. In some cases, you have a right to a faster 72-
hour appeal. You can get a fast appeal if your health could be seriously harmed by waiting 30
days for a standard appeal. If you ask for a fast appeal, we will decide if you get a 72-hour/fast
appeal. If not, your appeal will be processed in 30 days. If any doctor asks SeniorBlue to give
you a fast appeal, we must give it to you.
An extension up to 14 working days is permitted for a 72-hour appeal if the extension of time
benefits you; for example, if you need time to provide SeniorBlue with additional information or
if we need to have additional diagnostic tests completed.
. The 72 hours appeals process does not apply to denials of payment.
Written or oral requests can be filed by following the procedures below:
. On your oral or w1~tten request, specifically state that "1 W3.'1t 3.'1 expedited appeal, fast
appeal or 72 hour appeal" or "I believe that my health could be seriously harmed by waiting
30 days for a normal appeal."
. To file a request orally, call 1.800-779-6962. SeniorBlue will document the oral request in

Additional information that applies to both (30/60) day appeals and 72 hour appeals:
Support for Your Appeal
You are not required to submit additional information to support your request for services or
payment for services already received. SeniorBlue is responsible for gathering all necessary
medical information, however, it may be helpful to you to include additional information to
clarify or support your position. For example, you may want to include in your appeal request
information such as medical records or physician opinions in support of your appeal. To obtain
medical records, send a written request to your primary care physician_ If your medical records
from specialist physicians are not included in your medical record from your primary care
physician, you may need to make a separate written request to the specialist physician(s) who
provided medical services to you. SeniorBlue will provide an opportunity for you to provide
additional information in person or in \vriting.
