or adjusted for Room and Board (Care Cost) for one (#2) of six sampled residents.
Findings included:
On 12/13/2023 at approximately 2:00 p.m., Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN) was interviewed. She confirmed
Resident #2 was on her assignment. She stated the resident was able to be interviewed at times. She was
unable to say if he was able to make medical decisions, but, if there was a change in condition, she would
notify the resident's [family member]. An attempt to interview Resident #2 was conducted with Staff A
present. Resident #2 was observed in his bed. He stated he was hard of hearing. The attempt at an
interview with Resident #2 was unsuccessful. Staff A stated he can hear better some days than others.

been transferred to the hospital on [DATE]. The admission record documented he was readmitted to the
facility on [DATE].
On 12/14/2023 at 10:39 a.m. a review of Resident #2's Room and Board bill was conducted with the
Business Office Manager (BOM). The BOM stated Resident #2 was a current resident at the facility, his
payor source was Medicaid, and his patient liability was $1254.00 per month. The BOM confirmed Resident
#2 had been transferred to the hospital on [DATE]. Resident # 2 had been readmitted to the facility on
[DATE], and the BOM confirmed Resident #2 was currently skilled, which meant Medicare was being billed
for his care and services.

$1254.00 on 09/05/2023 and again on 10/05/2023.
A review of Resident #2's Room and Board bill, reflected the facility had charged Resident #2 on

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Further review of the Room and Board bill, printed on 12/13/2023, reflected the resident had a credit due to
him of $2,959.05.
Residents Affected - Few
During the interview with the BOM, she confirmed the facility had withdrawn $1,254.00 for September and
again $1,254.00 in October. When asked if the Care Cost should have been pro-rated due to Resident #2's
hospital stay, she stated she was working on it. She stated, it comes out automatically.The BOM confirmed
the Care Cost should have been prorated as follows:
-For September, 30 days, the $1254.05 divided by 30= $41.80 per day multiplied by the number of days in
the facility of 26, would equal a Care Cost of $1,086.84.
-For October, 31 days, the resident was not in the facility, the Care Cost would be $0.
-For November, 30 days, the $1254.05 divided by 30= $41.80 per day multiplied by the number of days in
the facility of 16, would equal a Care Cost of $668.82, if the resident was not covered by Medicare totally,
which he was because he was skilled, which would mean his Care Cost would be $0.
-For December, review of Resident #2's Payor source census page documented he would revert to
Medicaid on 12/15/2023, which would mean December bill, 31 days, the $1,254.05 divided by 31 equaled
$40.45 per day multiplied by 17 days would equal $687.70 for Care Cost for December.
During the interview, the BOM confirmed Resident #2 had a credit on the presented bill of $2,959.05, as of
12/01/2023 which did not include the adjustments to the monthly billing due to the inaccurate charges to
the resident. The BOM stated, that was the money we were trying to determine what to do with.

The BOM provided a copy of a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, which appointed his sister, as
his patient advocate, the alternate was his brother-in-law, and second alternate was a niece, dated

the reimbursement was feasible or not, or a response by the facility to the concern.

she had Resident #2 on her assignment, and she was familiar with him. She stated the resident was able to
be interviewed at times. She was unable to say if he was able to make medical decisions, but, if there was a
change in condition, she would notify the resident's sister or niece. An attempt to interview Resident #2 was
conducted with Staff A present. Resident #2 was observed in his bed.
