  “Sec. 1805. The department shall modify Medicaid policy in the Medicaid Manual, Nursing Facility Chapter, Certification, Survey and Enforcement Appendix, Section 2.3 and submit a Medicaid state plan amendment to CMS to seek approval to allow the department to approve or deny any application seeking Medicaid bed certification and provider enrollment for dual certification of Medicare-only beds.

  A verification from the state survey agency that the beds listed in the applications are Medicare- certified.
  
  The state survey agency finds that the facility named in the application is in substantial compliance with federal regulations at the time of application.
  
  If there is an accepted submitted plan of correction for any survey activity occurring following the date of the application submission, the facility named in the application will be deemed to have satisfactory survey performance.”.
  
  The motion prevailed and the amendment was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
