F 0582 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 medical record review, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide evidence of written notification to the resident and/or representative regarding beneficiary notices. This affected two residents (Residents #40 and #87) out of three residents (Residents #40, #87, and #88) reviewed for beneficiary notices. The facility census was 88. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Resident #40 was admitted to Medicare part A services on 02/23/19 and issued a last covered day of 03/08/19. A Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) form was issued on 03/05/19 by the Admissions Coordinator (AC) #501. The NOMNC form stated Resident #40's resident representative was notified by phone on 03/05/19 skilled Medicare part A services would end on 03/08/19 and financial liability would begin on 03/09/19. Review of Resident #40's medical record revealed it was silent as to documentation regarding resident representative notification of last covered day and AC #501 was unable to provide information of the NOMNC having been mailed to Resident #40's resident representative. According to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) form, Form Instructions 10123-NOMNC, undated, if a provider is personally unable to deliver a NOMNC to a person acting on behalf of an enrollee, then the provider should telephone the representative to advise him or her when the enrollee's services are no longer covered. The date of the conversation is the date of the receipt of the notice and the facility needs to confirm the telephone contact by written notice mailed on the same date. The instructions further state if direct phone contact cannot be made, send the notice to the representative by certified mail, return receipt requested and the date someone at the representative's address signs (or refuses to sign) the receipt is the date of receipt. When notices are returned by the post office with no indication of a refusal date, then the resident's liability starts on the provider's mailing date. Staff interview with AC #501 on 04/22/19 at 3:17 P.M. confirmed Resident #40's NOMNC was not mailed, for written notice, to the resident representative after phone notification. Facility policy review revealed the facility did not previously have a NOMNC policy and only created a NOMNC policy dated 04/24/19 which stated if the resident representative is not present to sign the NOMNC, the NOMNC will be sent certified mail to the resident representative after verbal confirmation. 2. Resident #87 was admitted to Medicare part A services on 02/12/19 and issued a last covered day of 03/06/19. A NOMNC form was issued on 03/04/19 by AC #501. The NOMNC form stated Resident #87's resident representative was notified by phone on 03/04/19 skilled Medicare part A services would end (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure thorough catheter care was provided for Resident #51, one of one resident reviewed for urinary catheter. The facility identified four residents with indwelling urinary catheters. The facility census was 88. Findings included: Record review for Resident #51 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included spinal stenosis, peripheral neuropathy, ataxic gait, Diabetes Mellitus, type II, chronic urinary incontinence, and with updated diagnosis 01/02/19 stage 4 pressure ulcer sacral region. Review of physician orders revealed 01/23/19 foley catheter care every day and evening shift for hygiene. An observation of catheter care for Resident #51 was conducted on 04/23/19 at 1:30 P.M. With the resident's permission State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #503 provided catheter care for the resident assisted by Registered Nurse (RN) #502. Observations during the procedure revealed STNA #503 explained the procedure to the resident, gathered supplies, appropriately washed hands and donned gloves. Using premoistened cleansing wipes STNA #503 cleansed the resident's groin and pubic areas, obtained new wipes and cleansed the resident's perianal areas from front to back. Without cleansing the resident's labia that touched the catheter STNA #503 obtained new wipes and cleansed the resident's catheter approximately two inches from the catheter insertion site outward to the end of the catheter where it connected to the tubing of the urinary drainage bag. STNA #503 did not separate the resident's labia and clean skin surfaces that came in contact with the catheter or clean the catheter as close to the insertion site as possible. An interview was conducted with STNA #503 at 1:45 P.M. following the observation. During the interview STNA #503 stated the STNA thought thorough catheter care was provided for the resident. A follow up interview was conducted with RN #502 at 2:50 P.M. During the interview catheter care technique provide by STNA #503 was reviewed. RN #502 confirmed the STNA did not spread the resident's labia to cleanse labial skin surfaces that were in contact with the urinary catheter. Review of the facility Urinary Catheter Care policy with a revision date 2006 revealed procedure step 6 spread the labia and clean the perineal area from the front to the back. This concern was shared with the facility Director of Nursing (DON) during an interview on 04/23/19 at 3:45 P.M. During that interview the DON stated the STNA was very nervous and the DON confirmed thorough catheter care was not completed for Resident #51.
