He said the plan was for resident #45 to be seen by the eye care specialist that provides services within the facility on 1/13/25. The Social Services Director called the office of the eye care specialist group who is the facility's in-house eye specialist provider by phone. They confirmed they had not seen resident #45 as a patient in 2025. The Social Services Director could not explain why resident #45 did not have the eye specialist consult on 1/13/25. The Social Services Director provided documentation that was dated 2/06/25 that indicated the eye specialist who provided services in the facility was out of network for resident #45's health insurance. The Social Services Director could not recall when nor did he document when he told resident #45 that his insurance would not cover the eye specialist provider who visited the facility. The Social Services Director stated that resident #45 had told him he did not have enough money to pay for the eye specialist service that comes to the facility out of pocket. The Social Services Director verified he did not do any additional coordination of care for resident #45 to see an eye specialist after resident #45 said he could not pay out of pocket for the care. The Social Services Director said that he could request from the facility's Administration to pay for resident #45 to get care from the eye specialist service who provides care within the facility, and he had no explanation why he had not previously arranged for that.
