(B) In accordance with 130 CMR 610.015(F): Expedited Appeals for Discharges and Transfers from a Nursing Facility Under 130 CMR 610.029(B) or (C), a resident may request an expedited appeal when a nursing facility notifies a resident of a discharge or transfer under the time frames in 130 CMR 456.702(B) or (C).

If the appellant has a handicap or disability that reasonably prevents their appearance at the designated site, they may request that the hearing be held by telephone or video conferencing, or at an accessible location.
