If a resident appeals the facility's notice of involuntary discharge to that resident and a hearing is requested pursuant to 42 C.F.R. § 431.220(a)(3) before the bureau of TennCare:
- The hearing shall be conducted and a final order rendered within ninety (90) days from the date of the resident's appeal of the facility's involuntary discharge notice;
- The timeframe specified in subdivision (1) may be extended or continued with the consent of both the facility and the resident; and
- The timeframe specified in subdivision (1) may be extended by the presiding administrative law judge without the consent of the facility, but only after a showing by the resident, or the resident's representative, that the resident faces a substantial threat of irreparable damage or injury if a continuance is not granted.
