e450B Process

The e450B process continues to be slow, despite increase staff assigned to process the submissions.  While the wait time for approval has decreased some, the Division of Aging is just now processing forms that were submitted in late July and early August.  IHCA has learned that the Division of Aging is working on a contract to obtain more personnel to assist with the e450B process.  In addition, the Division is working on a short-form e450B that should help move the process faster.  They are not sure of a completion date for the short-form, but hope it will not be any later than January 1, 2014.

The State will be holding a webinar in late October to continue to educate facilities about the e450B process.  Once that date is released, we will inform membership.  Also, the Division is working on a revised Resident Summary description and guidance in order to help streamline that portion of the e450B process.
