Sec. 483.126  Appropriate placement.



    Placement of an individual with MI or MR in a NF may be considered 

appropriate only when the individual's needs are such that he or she 

meets the minimum standards for admission and the individual's needs for 

treatment do not exceed the level of services which can be delivered in 

the NF to which the individual is admitted either through NF services 

alone or, where necessary, through NF services supplemented by 

specialized services provided by or arranged for by the State.
