Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on review of facility documentation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the required Notice of Medicare Provider Non-Coverage (NOMNC) and Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice (SNF-ABN) to the resident or resident's representative for three of three records reviewed (Residents 100, 101, and 102).

Review of the form title Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNFABN) states that this notice is given to make residents aware of care that no longer meets Medicare coverage requirements and they may have to pay out of pocket for the care listed. The provider must ensure that the beneficiary or their representative signs and dates the SNFABN to demonstrate that the beneficiary or their representative received the notice of possible out of pocket costs.
