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 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 328) discharged from Medicare Part A services received a Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC, a form given to Medicare recipients notifying then that Part A coverage is being terminated and providing information on how to file an appeal of that decision) letter in a timely manner. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to prevent the resident from filing a timely appeal of the decision to discharge from Medicare Part A services. Findings: A review of Resident 328's clinical records indicated, Resident 328 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of pneumonia (infection of one or both lungs) with debility (physical weakness, especially because of illness). The facility initiated a discharge of Medicare Part A services on 9/14/2022 with benefit days remaining. A review of Resident 328's NOMNC letter indicated, The Effective Date Coverage of Your Current Skilled Nursing & Rehab Services Will End: 9-14-2022. Further review of the NOMNC letter's second page indicated, RP (responsible party - a person empowered to make decisions for the resident/ person legally responsible and liable for a decision or an action)) was notified via phone call on 9/15/22, also emailed her copy, dated 9/15/22. The NOMNC also indicated the RP's signature on 9/27/22. A review of the social service director's (SSD) progress note dated 9/15/2022 at 12:20 p.m., indicated, SSD called RP informed her resident was no longer receiving skilled services of 9-14-22 he will be transitioned to RNA (restorative nursing assistant - had special training and work alongside with rehab staff for patients with limited mobility and capacity of self-care) program explained to sister regarding NOMNC last covered days (LCD, days for skilled services) was 9-14-11, and LTC (long term care - services that include medical and non-medical care provided to people who are unable to perform basic activities of daily living such as dressing or bathing) as of 9-15-22. RP verbalized understanding of NOMNC. RP stated she was on vacation and to email her copy of NOMNC she will sign upon return. SSD emailed copy to RP on 9/15/22. During a concurrent interview and record review with SSD on 10/07/2022 at 10:02 a.m., the SSD reviewed Resident 328's NOMNC letter and progress note on 9/15/2022. The SSD confirmed she called Resident 328's sister who was the RP on 9/15/2022 to notify about the LCD of skilled services. The SSD stated the issuance and notification of the NOMNC letter's LCD should be done within 24 to 48 hours before the LCD for resident or RP to have time to appeal the decision.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of the facility's policy titled Care Plan Goals and Objectives, dated 7/1/2020 indicated, the goals and objectives are entered on the resident's care plan so that all disciplines have access to such information and are able to report whether or not the desired outcomes are being achieved. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop care plans for four of 18 sampled residents (Residents 18, 24, 175 and 14). 1. For Resident 18, the facility did not develop a care plan to address the use of insulin; 2. For Resident 24, the facility did not develop a care plan to address the use of oxygen; 3. For Resident 175, the facility did not develop care plans to address the use of oxygen and antidepressant medication; and 4. For Resident 14, the facility did not develop a care plan to address the use of anticoagulant (blood thinner). This failure had the potential to result in the residents not receiving the interventions necessary to maintain their highest level of well-being. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 18's clinical record indicated Resident 18 had a physician's orders dated 7/27/2022 for a routine Humalog (insulin - a hormone used to lower the blood sugar) three times a day and a Humalog sliding scale (varies the dose of insulin based on blood sugar level) before meals and at bedtime for diabetes mellitus (DM - a condition which affects the way the body processes blood sugar). Further review of Resident 18's physician's order indicated an order dated 08/23/2022 of Lantus (type of insulin to lower the sugar in the blood) to be given once a day and at bedtime for DM. During a concurrent interview and record review with the minimum data set nurse (MDSN - a nurse responsible for a resident's scheduled assessment and care planning) on 10/06/2022 at 1:44 p.m., the MDSN reviewed Resident 18's list of care plans. The MDSN confirmed there was no care plan developed for insulin use. The MDSN stated there should have been a care plan developed for Resident 18's insulin use. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Care Plan Goals and Objectives, dated 07/01/2020, indicated, It was the policy of this facility that care plans shall incorporate goals and objectives that lead to the resident's highest obtainable level of independence.
