Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Interview conducted with relevant party indicated that resident (R8) was not issued a refund for unnecessary charges. LPA observed R8’s admission agreement signed 10/27/2022 and invoices itemizing charges from October 2022 to March 2023. LPA observed that charges for level of care services and pre-admission fees were included in R8’s signed admission agreement. LPA observed that invoice for January 2023 showed a charge for $530 for medication services when, according to interviews with staff members S1, S2, and ED, as well as a review of R1’s Physician’s Report for RCFE LIC 602A dated 12/9/2022 (faxed to the facility on 12/13/2022), R8 was not receiving medication services. LPA observed that $530 were credited back to R8 on invoice for February 2023. In review of California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, there are no regulations to address allegation of facility not issuing a refund to resident for the scenario given regarding complaint. Based on records reviewed, the above allegation is found to be UNFOUNDED. A finding that the allegation is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview was conducted with ED and a copy of this report was provided to the facility. The signature of ED on these forms acknowledges receipt of these documents.
