9050.0510 MAINTENANCE CHARGE; ADDITIONAL SERVICES; VETERAN EXCLUSIVE SERVICES.

Subpart 1.

Additional services at resident's own expense.

In addition to the services in the resident's admissions agreement, a resident may use additional health care services at the resident's own expense if the health care services do not exceed the level of care for which the facility is licensed and if the service provider complies with documentation requirements of the facility operated by the commissioner of veterans affairs. A resident who chooses to use additional health care services at the resident's own expense shall continue to pay the maintenance charge determined under part 9050.0560.

Subp. 2.

Veteran exclusive services.

"Veteran exclusive services" are medical benefits or services provided or sponsored by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs exclusively for veterans. Examples include the United States Department of Veterans Affairs physician services and laboratory services. Nonveteran residents are not entitled to veteran exclusive medical benefits or services. Payment of the maintenance charge does not make a nonveteran eligible for veteran exclusive benefits or services provided at the facility operated by the commissioner of veterans affairs. Nonveteran residents shall obtain necessary health care services comparable to veteran exclusive services at the resident's expense. The services must be within the confines of the level of care for which the facility is licensed.
