DHS Waives Physician Signature Requirement for Single Room Payment

Posted on November 25, 2020 by Jeff Bostic

Late yesterday, DHS released a memo that suspends the physician signature requirement for the single room rate differential. It also allows the charging of a differential to private pay without advance notice. The waiver applies only for the fourteen day quarantine period for new admissions or residents returning from leave, and it is in place through the end of the state public health emergency.
