the resident has requested and received, and

included in the term ''nursing facility services''
so long as the facility gives proper notice of the
availability and cost of these services to
residents and does not condition the resident's

and receipt of such additional services; and
(ii) A nursing facility may solicit, accept, or
receive a charitable, religious, or philanthropic
contribution from an organization or from a
person unrelated to a Medicaid eligible resident
or potential resident, but only to the extent that
the contribution is not a condition of admission,
expedited admission, or continued stay in the

§483.15(a)(5) States or political subdivisions
may apply stricter admissions standards under
State or local laws than are specified in this
section, to prohibit discrimination against

remaining residents in the facility and the staff
at risk to be infected with COVID-19 and

On 7/16/2020 at 4:25 p.m., an Immediate
Jeopardy (IJ, a situation in which the facility's
noncompliance with one or more requirements

transmission of COVID-19 infection that
threatened the health and safety of the
