If the department determines that a nursing facility is deficient in areas relating to recipient care and has initiated decertification proceedings, the department will not pay for services provided to a recipient admitted to the facility, or who becomes eligible for assistance, after the date the department has notified the nursing facility that the department has initiated decertification proceedings. If a nursing facility provides both intermediate care services and skilled nursing services, the department may implement this section independently for each level of certification.
