If a facility requires an individual, other than the applicant or resident, to sign the admission contract, the conditions of Regulation .05B(1) of this chapter shall be met. If an agent, as defined in Regulation .02B(3) of this chapter, signs the contract, the agent accepts responsibility to pay for the cost of the resident's care only to the extent of the resident's available funds and assets. If an agent, as defined in Regulation .02B(3) of this chapter, signs the contract, the agent is not, by signing the contract, accepting any responsibility for making payments from the agent's own personal funds, unless the agent does so voluntarily. The facility shall list separately in the contract any obligations voluntarily entered into by the agent, and the agent shall initial these obligations on the contract. An agent who has not paid a current obligation for the resident's care may apply to the Medical Assistance Program for a determination of the funds available to pay for the cost of the resident's care. An agent shall distribute any funds, including income or assets of the applicant or resident that the Medical Assistance Program has determined to be available, to pay for the cost of the resident's care in the facility. An agent shall seek, on behalf of the applicant or resident, all assistance from the Medical Assistance Program that may be available to the applicant or resident. The Attorney General may impose civil money penalties against an agent who wilfully or with gross negligence violates the requirements of this regulation as follows: An agent who wilfully or with gross negligence violates §E of this regulation is subject to a civil money penalty not less than the amount of funds subject to the violation; and An agent who wilfully or with gross negligence violates §F of this regulation is subject to a civil money penalty not exceeding $10,000.
