I just received an e-mail from the Texas Health Care Association. Nursing Homes in East Texas are being asked to take Louisiana residents. Of course, this raises questions about reimbursement for Medicaid residents. According to THCA:
Reimbursement for services is an issue that is to be worked out between the two nursing facilities.
Also, if you are considering taking in these residents, you will not be allowed to exceed occupancy as allowed by your Texas license. You must also meet all regulatory standards in the care you give.
