Existing law authorizes the State Department of Health Care Services to seek an increase in the scope of these waivers, in order to enable additional nursing facility residents to transition into the community, subject to implementation of these amended waivers upon obtaining federal financial participation, and to the extent the department can demonstrate fiscal neutrality within the overall department budget. This bill, notwithstanding the 66-hour workweek limit, would require the department to grant an exemption to a provider of an applicant or participant of the Nursing Facility/Acute Hospital Waiver or the In-Home Operations Waiver, or their successors, whose medical or behavioral needs require that the services be provided by the requested provider, if one of specified circumstances exists. For a waiver participant who enrolled in either waiver after January 31, 2016, the bill would require the department to grant a provider an exemption on a case-by-case basis, as specified.
