We would like to make you aware of a recent change that will affect Level of Care (LOC) letters issued for individuals seeking care with the State of Indiana. Beginning Wednesday, April 19, 2017, LOC letters with a "Refer for Level II" outcome will now include length of stay information.
This change will assist in making a faster determination on whether a individual will be admitting for a short-term or long-term stay.
Please note that the Nursing Facility must also reconcile the LOC length of stay with the length of stay identified by the Level II process. The shorter of the two lengths of stay will prevail.
