Medical Services - PASRR

The existing PASRR rules will be repealed. The new PASRR rules will be located in a different article, and remove the 75+ age categorical, add a new emergency placement categorial option, remove swing bed from the PASRR requirements, better detail the difference between a PASRR exemption versus a categorical determination, and to better detail the responsibilities of the State Medicaid Authority and Mental Health Authority.

New content is added below as the draft rules move through the rule-making process.
