Can organizations that own nursing homes conduct health fairs and distribute enrollment forms to nursing home residents?
A. Yes, organizations that own nursing homes may conduct health fairs and distribute enrollment forms if the sales presentations are confined to a common area (e.g., community or recreational rooms), or if a member volunteered for an individual presentation. Promotional activities and sales presentations cannot be made in individual resident rooms without a prior appointment for a “home” visits. Such activities would be considered door-to-door solicitation and are prohibited. The organization is required to meet all health fair/sales presentation and enrollment requirements as currently outlined in this section and regulations.
