Conflict resolution procedures and appeal processes - Adoption by licensees
Official statutory text
Every licensee under this title shall have a clear conflict resolution procedure, including an appeal process, that complies with the department's rules, policies, procedures, and guidelines, as applicable, and shall communicate the procedure to each person supported and their family, as appropriate, involved in the service. Termination of service or support because a third-party payer refuses to continue to fund the service or support is not subject to the conflict resolution procedure. The location where service or support is to be provided is not subject to the conflict resolution procedure unless the location is inaccessible to the person supported and their family, as appropriate. The procedure must include the means to resolve a conflict informally and expeditiously in conformity with the department's rules, policies, procedures, or guidelines, as applicable. A licensee shall not cease to provide services and supports to a person supported with an intellectual or developmental disability during the pendency of the conflict resolution over the objection of the person supported. Added by 2024 Tenn. Acts, ch. 688,s 2, eff. 7/1/2024.
