Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the Skilled Nursing Advanced Beneficiary Notice of
Noncoverage (SNF-ABN, a notice provided to Medicare recipients informing them of the upcoming end of
Medicare reimbursement for a particular medical service) to the responsible parties for two of three
sampled residents (Residents 47 and 62) receiving Medicare Part A benefits, when facility stated they did
not know the facility had to provide a SNF-ABN. This failure did not ensure resident rights to appeal the
non-coverage determination and had the potential to expose each resident to unnecessary financial liability
associated with receiving non-covered services (e.g., services not covered by Medicare Part A).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
RESIDENT 47
During a record review for Resident 47, the Face sheet (A one-page summary of important information
about a resident) indicated Resident 47 was readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including Benign
Neoplasm of Meninges (tumor that grows from the meninges, the protective membranes that cover the
brain and spinal cord), Dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with
doing everyday activities) and Cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle in which the heart loses its
ability to pump blood effectively).
During a record review for Resident 47, the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool completed by
clinical staff), dated 11/04/2022, indicated Resident 47 started receiving Medicare benefits at the facility as
of 10/29/2022. The MDS indicated Resident 47 received Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy.
Review of the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS) form titled SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility)
Beneficiary Notification Review indicated that 12/6/22 was Resident 47's last day of coverage for Medicare
Part A services (Nursing and Rehab services either Physical Therapy, Occupational and Speech therapy).
The form indicated the facility had initiated Resident 47's discharge from Medicare Part A Services when
the resident's benefit days had not exhausted (e.g., the resident had skilled benefit days remaining).
Further, the form indicated facility staff did not provide the SNF-ABN form to Resident 47 because the
resident had already been discharged from the facility.
During an interview and concurrent record review with SSD (Social Service Director) E on 12/15/2022, at
9:30 a.m., SSD E was asked reason why the SNF-ABN was not provided to Resident 47, and SSD E stated
Resident 47 was discharged from the facility after she received the Notice of Medicare

Non-Coverage (NOMNC, a form completed by the facility to notify a resident of his or her right to a decision
of non-coverage for services). During concurrent review of the electronic health record for Resident 47 with
SSD E, SSD E verified Resident 47 was still admitted in the facility. When SSD E was asked when facility
staff should issue the SNF-ABN form to the residents, SSD E stated she had never provided the SNF-ABN
form to residents and did not know what the form looked like. Also, SSD stated she did not know she had to
issue a SNF-ABN if the resident expected to stay at the facility after the last day of Medicare coverage. SSD
E stated Business Office Manager (BOM) F was responsible for discussing with residents or a resident's
representative about their potential financial obligations after the issuance of the NOMNC.
During an interview with BOM (Business Office Manager) F on 12/15/2022, at 9:45 a.m., BOM F was asked
who was responsible for issuing a SNF-ABN form to residents or their representatives, BOM F stated SSD
E would issue the notices and BOM F was responsible for retaining resident-signed notices.
RESIDENT 62
During a record review for Resident 62, the Face sheet indicated Resident 62 was admitted on [DATE] with
diagnoses including Left Femur Fracture (a break in the thigh bone), Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, diseases that cause airflow blockage and
breathing-related problems).
During a record review for Resident 62, the MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 62 began receiving
Medicare benefits at the facility as of 10/17/2022. The MDS indicated Resident 62 received Orthopedic
aftercare (e.g, the care provided after initial treatment of femur fracture has been performed, to aid the
healing or recovery phase, or for the long-term consequences of the disease) at the facility.
Review of the form SNF Beneficiary Notification Review indicated Resident 62's last covered day of
Medicare Part A Services was on 11/19/2022. The form indicated the facility initiated Resident 62's
discharge from Medicare Part A Services when his benefit days were not exhausted. The facility indicated a
SNF-ABN form was not provided to Resident 62 as the resident had been discharged from the facility and
did not receive non-covered services.
During an interview and concurrent record review with SSD E on 12/15/2022, at 9:30 a.m., SSD E was
asked why the SNF-ABN was not provided to Resident 62, and SSD E stated Resident 62 was discharged
from the facility after he received the NOMNC. After review of the electronic health record for Resident 62
with SSD E, SSD E verified Resident 62 was still in the facility.
Review of the Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 30 - Financial Liability Protections, revised
1/21/2022, indicated: A [SNF-ABN] is evidence of beneficiary knowledge about the likelihood of a Medicare
denial, for the purpose of determining financial liability for expenses incurred for extended care items or
services furnished to a beneficiary and for which Medicare does not pay. If Medicare is expected to deny
payment (entirely or in part) on the basis of one of the exclusions listed in §70 of this chapter for
extended care items or services that the SNF furnishes to a beneficiary, a [SNF-ABN] must be given to the
beneficiary in order to transfer financial liability for the item or service to the beneficiary. Retrieved from

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the physician's Protocol for Constipation for one of 5
sampled residents (Resident 280), causing Resident 280 to not have a bowel movement (BM) for eight
days in a row. This had the potential for Resident 280's abdomen feeling full and bloated, and cause pain,
hemorrhoids (swollen veins in your lower rectum) and unexplained weight loss, which could lead to
Resident 280 being hospitalized .
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
A review of Resident 280's admission Record, dated 12/15/22, indicated Resident 228 was admitted on
[DATE], with a diagnosis including dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that
interferes with doing everyday activities), gastro-esophageal reflex disease (GERD, a chronic disease
where stomach acid goes up into the esophagus (the muscular tube through which food passes from the
throat to the stomach), causing inflammation and pain), dysphagia (swallowing difficulties), altered mental
status, severe sepsis (infection causes organ damage) with septic shock (a life-threatening condition that
happens when your blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an infection), amongst others.
A review of Resident 280's admission MDS (Minimum Data Set, a clinical assessment of the resident's
functional capabilities and helps staff identify health problems), dated 12/12/22, indicated Resident 280 was
not able to complete the BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) interview, he had a memory problem, and
Resident 280's cognitive skills were moderately impaired (when a person has trouble remembering,
learning new things, concentrating, or making decisions that affect their everyday life). Resident 280
needed one-person physical assist with toilet use (how resident uses the toilet room, commode, bedpan,
transfers on/off toilet, cleanses self after elimination), was frequently incontinent of urine, and bowel
continence was not rated (meant resident did not have a bowel movement for the entire 7 days).
A review of Resident 280's Admit/Readmit Screener - V2, dated 12/6/22, indicated Resident 280 was totally
dependent on staff assistance for toilet use and Resident 280 had a small, formed BM last night (12/5/22),
which was the day before he was admitted to the facility.
A review of Resident 280's Bowel and Bladder Elimination, dated 12/6-12/15/22, indicated Resident 280
had not had a BM since he was admitted on [DATE], total of eight days.
A review of Resident 280's Skilled Nursing Assessment, dated 12/8/22 at 1:05 a.m. and 12:02 p.m.,
indicated Resident 280's bowel function was unchanged. incontinent of BM, and bowel sounds were
present. Resident 280's Skilled Nursing assessment dated [DATE] at 12:45 a.m., indicated Resident 280's
bowel function was unchanged and bowel sounds were present. Resident 280's Skilled Nursing
Assessment, date 12/10/22 at 5:29 p.m. and 12/11/22 at 3:22 p.m., indicated Resident 280's bowel function
was unchanged. Resident 280's Skilled Nursing Assessment, dated 12/12/22 at 3:06 p.m., 12/13/22 at 3:54
p.m., and 12/14/22 at 3:03 p.m., indicated Resident 280's bowel function was not assessed. Resident 280's
Skilled Nursing Assessment, date 12/15/22 at 3:44 p.m., indicated Resident 280 had bowel sounds and
was constipated (condition of the bowels in which the stool is dry and hardened and evacuation is difficult
and infrequent).

times per day. Resident 280 was to be given MOM (Milk of Magnesia) 30 ml every 24 hours prn for
constipation. Resident 280 was to be given a Bisacodyl suppository (form of medication that is inserted into
the rectum), every 24 hours prn for constipation if MOM is ineffective.
A review of Resident 280's MAR (Medication Administration Record), dated 12/2022, indicated Resident
280 was given Colace 100 mg by mouth on 12/10/22 at 7:53 a.m., the fourth day after no BM. No other
medication for constipation was given to Resident 280 until 12/14/22 at 5:16 p.m., when MOM 30 ml by
mouth was given, eight days after no BM. Resident 280 had not been given the MOM until the surveyor had
pointed out to the DON and Licensed Staff A Resident 280 had not had a BM in eight days.
A review of Resident 280's Nurse's Progress Notes, dated 12/6/22 - 12/15/22, indicated Resident 280's
issue with constipation was not addressed until 12/15/22 at 11:54 a.m., whereby the nurse indicated
Resident 280 had not had a BM, Resident 280's physician was aware, and interventions were in place.
During a concurrent interview and MAR review on 12/14/22 at 5:07 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON)
stated Resident 280 was given Colace 100 mg one tablet by mouth for constipation on 12/10, which was
the fourth day of no BM. The DON stated a resident would normally be started on the physician's bowel
care orders addressing constipation after the third day of no BM. The DON stated the resident would be
given Colace first and if Colace did not work, MOM would be given. The DON stated the nurse giving report
to the oncoming nurse should have made the nurse aware Resident 280 was having an issue with
constipation. The DON stated if the Colace and MOM did not work, the nurse should have given Resident
280 the Bisacodyl suppository. The DON stated it was the nurse's responsibility to make sure a resident
was having a BM routinely. The DON stated there was no Policy and Procedure on Bowel Care for
constipation; it was a Standard Nursing Practice to make sure a resident has a BM routinely.
During an interview on 12/14/22 at 5:11 p.m., Licensed Staff A stated she had not been informed by the
A.M. nurse giving her report about Resident 280 not having a BM since he was admitted on [DATE], eight
days ago.
During an interview on 12/15/22 at 11:00 a.m., Unlicensed Staff B stated she if the resident had not had a
BM by the second and third day, she would inform the resident's nurse.
During an interview on 12/15/22 at 11:05 a.m., Licensed Staff C stated if a resident did not have a BM after
one day, she would give them a stool softener or a laxative such as Senna. Licensed Staff C stated if the
stool softener and laxative did not work by the next day, she would give the resident MOM per the
physician's order. Licensed Staff C stated if the MOM did not work, she would give the resident a
suppository. Licensed Staff C stated there was an electronic tab alerting the nurse in regard to the resident
not having a BM in so many days. Licensed Staff C stated the oncoming nurse should have been notified
about a resident not having a BM by the nurse giving them report and/or by the CNA caring for the resident,
and by the charge nurse. Licensed Staff C stated the nurses should have been charting in the resident's
Nurse's Progress Notes about the resident having issues with constipation and what the nurse had done to
address the issue. Licensed Staff C stated normally the CNA would make her aware of the resident not
having a BM daily. Licensed Staff C stated if the resident was not having a routine BM and it had been
several days, she would assess the resident for abdominal extension, bowel sounds, and pain. Licensed
Staff C stated the resident's physician should be notified if the medication ordered for constipation did not
help the resident have a BM. Licensed Staff C stated a resident should have been started on the
physician's Bowel Protocol for constipation if
