(a) If a recipient needs non-emergency, continuous heavy use of oxygen, the ICF/IID shall make it available for use at all times. The facility shall submit a request for authorization, on a form provided by the department, shall provide on that form a detailed description of the recipient’s need for continuous heavy use of oxygen, and shall include physician orders or physician or nursing notes. Payment will be made to the ICF/IID at the facility’s cost for the oxygen. The amount of oxygen given to the recipient must be accurately metered and measurable to the recipient. In the billing, the ICF/IID shall note the metered amount of oxygen and dates used. (b) An ICF/IID is responsible for transportation planning. To determine the appropriate type of carrier, the facility shall consider the recipient’s condition, distance to the medical facility or provider of service, and the frequency of the trip. The least expensive mode of transportation must be used consistent with these conditions. (c) Nonemergency, in-state transportation must be given prior authorization by the department. Emergency transportation must be reported to the department as soon as possible but not later than three working days after the transportation occurred.
