461-001-0030 Definitions; OSIPM Nursing Facility Services or Home and Community-Based Care These terms apply to rules in Chapter 461 about Oregon Supplemental Income Program Medical (OSIPM) nursing facility services and home and community-based care : (1) Community spouse : An individual who is legally married (see OAR 461-001-0000) to an institutionalized spouse (see section (5) of this rule) and meets all of the following requirements: (a) The individual is not residing in the Oregon State Hospital, or its equivalent if residing in another state. (b) The individual is not residing in an acute care hospital or nursing facility for a continuous period of care (see section (2) of this rule). (2) Continuous period of care : Reside for a period of at least 30 consecutive days or until death in a nursing facility, home and community-based care (see section (4) of this rule) setting, or an acute care hospital. There must be sufficient evidence to show there is a reasonable expectation that the client will remain in care for at least 30 consecutive days. For the purposes of this policy, an interruption in care (for example, leaving and then returning to a nursing home, or switching from one type of care to another) that lasts less than 30 days is not considered a break in the 30 consecutive days of care. A new period of care begins if care is interrupted for 30 or more days.
