Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on record review, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to provide the Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNF ABN, CMS-10055 form) to 1 of 3 sampled residents reviewed for beneficiary notices. The SNF ABN provides information to beneficiaries so they can decide if they wish to continue receiving the skilled services that may not be paid for by Medicare and assume financial responsibility. (Resident #64)
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include: Based upon facility documentation, Resident #64 was discharged from a Medicare Part A stay on 2/24/25 and remained in the facility. Review of the Beneficiary Notification review form (CMS 20052) completed by the Business Office Manager (BOM) on 3/18/25 revealed the facility initiated the discharge of Resident #64 from Medicare Part A services when benefit days were not exhausted. The form indicated the SNF ABN (CMS 10055) was not provided to the resident because the resident was not picked up under skilled Medicare Part B services. An interview was conducted with the Administrator on 3/18/25 at 1:11 PM. The Administrator confirmed the notice (SNF ABN) was not served to the resident and agreed if the resident was discharged from Part A and remained in the facility, the resident should have received the SNF ABN notice. Review of the facility policy for SNF Advance Beneficiary Notification (ABN) & Notice of Medicare Provider Non-Coverage (BO-510 revised 5/1/18) revealed that the SNF Advance Beneficiary Notification (SNF ABN) & the Notice of Non-Coverage will be used to properly notify a Medicare Part A resident and/or responsible party of the clinical team decision that the resident, no longer meets the Medicare criteria for daily skilled services. SNF's must provide the Notice of Medicare Provider Non-Coverage and the SNF ABN to Medicare beneficiaries no later than two days before the effective date of the end of the coverage that their Medicare coverage will be ending.

The DON measured the longest nail on the resident's left hand and stated it was 1 cm past the nail bed. The DON confirmed this was not an acceptable length and the resident's nails should be cut short. The DON then spoke with a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and stated the CNA reported she had attempted to trim the resident's fingernails, but they were too thick. The DON confirmed the CNA should have reported this to the nurse or manager. A review of Resident #33's record revealed a significant change minimum data set (MDS) with an assessment reference date of 1/17/25 indicating the resident was dependent for personal hygiene. A review of the last 20 days of progress notes revealed no documented refusals of nail care. Review of the task menu revealed her last documented bath or shower was performed on 3/17/25. A review of the current care plan dated 11/12/24 for Alteration in Usual Functional Performance in self-care related to activity intolerance, fatigue, impaired balance, and limited mobility revealed the resident was dependent for personal hygiene. Review of the facility policy for Bathing/Showering (N-1130 revised 9/1/17) revealed that staff should trim the resident's fingernails during bathing.
