Summary

The facility failed to provide timely notification to a resident regarding the end of Medicare Part A coverage for skilled nursing services. Clinical record review showed that the resident was admitted with diagnoses including weakness and a need for personal assistance. Documentation indicated that Medicare Part A coverage ended on February 18, 2025, but the required Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage (SNF-ABN) was not issued until the same day coverage ended. An interview with the director of nursing confirmed that the SNF-ABN was not provided prior to the termination of coverage, as required. This deficiency was identified through review of records and staff interviews.
