Long-Term Care Facility (LTC / Nursing Home) — While LTC facilities follow the same general federal guidelines as SNFs (30 days for the first 90 days, 60 days thereafter), state licensing laws can add specific caveats. For example, under Kansas Administrative Regulation § 28-39-155, a physician must personally see an LTC resident for:
