H-493 Operations Plan - Relocation of Recipients MS Manual 08/29/22 The Division of Provider Services and Quality Assurance (DPSQA) Office of Long-Term Care (OLTC) will initiate all relocation actions of Agency recipients in facilities that are closed for any reason other than a disaster. Such reasons include: decertification by the federal government or the DPSQA, loss of licenses, voluntary withdrawal from the Health Care Program, or cancellation of agreement by the DPSQA. Since federal regulations require all program recipients to be relocated within thirty (30) days of the termination date, it is essential that specific procedures be established to ensure that recipients are relocated with maximum safety and well-being. Authority to initiate, direct and monitor all relocation actions is delegated to the Assistant Director of the Office of Long-Term Care, by the Director of the DPSQA.
