Section 620. Expansion of services

Latest version.

Proposals to increase existing nursing facility bed capacity should not be approved unless the facility has operated for at least two years and the average annual occupancy of the facility's existing beds was at least 93% in the relevant reporting period as reported to VHI.

Note: Exceptions will be considered for facilities that operated at less than 93% average annual occupancy in the most recent year for which bed utilization has been reported when the facility offers short stay services causing an average annual occupancy lower than 93% for the facility.
