Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, interview, and policy review, it was determined the facility failed to provide
residents and/or their representatives with the required written notice of Medicare coverage termination,
including an explanation of the Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage
(SNF-ABN) and the right to appeal, prior to the end of Medicare Part A services for two of three sampled
residents reviewed for Medicare coverage notices (Resident 1 and Resident 2).Findings Include: A review
of Resident 1's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on May 14, 2025, with diagnoses to include
Parkinsons disease (a progressive, neurological disease), muscle weakness and diabetes. Review of the
resident's Medicare coverage documentation revealed the last day of covered Medicare Part A services
was June 5, 2025. Further review of the Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of
Non-Coverage (SNF-ABN) form dated June 3, 2025, which is a standardized written notice that facilities are
required to issue to a Medicare beneficiary when services are expected to end or coverage will be denied.
The notice must explain the reason for non-coverage; the date coverage will end and inform the resident or
their representative of their right to appeal the decision. The form indicated Resident 1 requested the form
be reviewed with her responsible party, her daughter. The facility social worker documented the responsible
party's name and telephone number, the date June 3, 2025, and noted no appeal. There was no evidence
that the resident or her responsible party received the notice, reviewed the form, or were informed of the
opportunity to appeal the coverage termination. During a telephone interview conducted on August 12,
2025, at 12:00 P.M., Resident 1's daughter stated that the facility did not contact her regarding the
SNF-ABN and that she was not advised of her right to appeal the denial of coverage. A review of Resident
2's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on July 14, 2025, with diagnoses to include Parkinson's
disease (a progressive, neurological disease) and a history of falls. The clinical record indicated the
resident was his own responsible party. A review of an admission minimum data set assessment (MDS a
federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated
July 17, 2025 revealed a BIMS score of 10 (Brief Interview for Mental Status a tool within the Cognitive
Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and
recall new information. A score between 8 and 12 indicates moderate cognitive impairment). Review of the
resident's Medicare coverage documentation revealed the last day of covered Medicare Part A services
was July 31, 2025. Further review of the SNF-ABN form dated July 29, 2025, revealed the resident signed
the form, and the social worker documented no appeal. There was no evidence that the resident was
provided with an explanation of the form or informed of the right to appeal. During an interview on August
12, 2025, at 12:30 P.M., Resident 2 stated that he was asked by someone to sign the form. He stated he
was not given an explanation about the SNF-ABN and was not advised that he could appeal the denial of
coverage. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on August 12, 2025, at 1:30 PM the
aforementioned information was reviewed with the
