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 and interview the facility failed to provide a Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice (SNFABN) and Notice to Medicare Provider Non-Coverage (NOMNC) as required to Resident #33's responsible party/guardian. This affected one resident (Resident #33) of three residents reviewed for beneficiary notices.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include Review of the SNFABN form for Resident #33 revealed beginning on 03/30/19 the resident would have to pay out of pocket for care if she did not have other insurance that might cover the cost. A note printed on the bottom of the SNFABN revealed Social Service Designee (SSD) #510 attempted to call Resident #33's guardian on 03/29/19. After she was unable to contact the guardian, the SSD then contacted the house manager at the group home the resident resided in prior to admission. SSD #510 requested the house manager contact the guardian. Review of the beneficiary NOMNC for Resident #33 revealed skilled services would end on 04/03/19. A similar note dated 03/29/19 printed at the bottom of the NOMNC indicated the SSD requested the same house manager call the resident's guardian. There was no evidence the facility made any other attempt to notify the resident's guardian (i.e. sending a certified letter containing the SNFABN and NOMNC to Resident #33's guardian to inform him of potential liability for the non-covered stay and his right of an expedited review of a service termination). During an interview on 05/14/19 at 1:29 P.M., the administrator verified SSD #510 had not contacted Resident #33's guardian in regard to the termination of service. She confirmed the facility did not send the guardian a certified letter containing the SNFABN and NOMNC.
