Ohio Rev. Code § 5124.62: Request for federal approval of conversion of beds.

The director of developmental disabilities may request that the medicaid director seek the approval of the United States secretary of health and human services to increase the number of slots available for home and community-based services by a number not exceeding the number of beds that were part of the licensed capacity of a residential facility that had its license revoked or surrendered under section 5123.19 of the Revised Code if the residential facility was an ICF/IID at the time of the license revocation or surrender. The request may include beds the director of developmental disabilities removed from such a residential facility's licensed capacity before transferring ownership or operation of the residential facility pursuant to a request for proposals.
