Hardship-waiver path

A waiver may be granted when enforcement would deprive the person of necessary medical care or deprive the person or financially dependent family of food, clothing, shelter, or other necessities.

Lien practice

After notice and hearing, OHCA may file against real property when a nursing-facility resident cannot reasonably be expected to return home; a return home for more than 90 days dissolves the lien.
