shall have no priority for readmission. Members who are voluntarily
discharged shall be readmitted on request within 30 days after
discharge, if there is no waiting list; otherwise their name shall

other circumstances that demonstrate merit for readmission. The
procedures in subsection 504(a)(1) shall apply to members who are
discharged after being enrolled in a rehabilitation program.

(3) Readmissions are limited to intermediate, residential, or
domiciliary levels of care only.

(4) Readmission shall be subject to review and recommendation by a
group consisting of the Chief of Ambulatory Care Service, the
appropriate Social Worker, and the Chief of Residential Care
Service, or the Chief Medical Officer, as appropriate.

(5) Readmission of persons discharged for non-payment of fees shall
be subject to payment of delinquent fees unless a negotiated
arrangement is approved by the Veterans Home Administrator.

(6) Readmission of members involuntarily discharged for violation
of the Code of Conduct shall be subject to policies and conditions
described under Section 504.1 below. A veteran shall have the right
to appeal a rejection in accord with Section 501.4 above.
