10220 | ABBEVILLE HEALTHCARE & REHAB | 115623 | 206 MAIN STREET EAST | ABBEVILLE | GA | 31001 | 2010-04-08 | 160 | D | 0 | 1 | OHLM11 | **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on staff interviews and record reviews, it was determined that the facility failed to convey the personal funds of one resident (#15) to the probate jurisdiction administering the resident's estate within 30 days of the resident's death. Findings include: Resident #15 expired on [DATE]. A review of the resident's "Resident Trust Fund Statement" for [DATE] revealed that a balance of $50.45 remained in the resident's trust fund account. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:00 p.m., the facility's bookkeeper stated that the resident had been his/her own responsible party and that no family member had come forward to receive the resident's monies. The facility's policy on residents' funds documented that, if a balance remained in the account that was due the patient/responsible party within 30 days of discharge, a check would be issued to the patient/responsible party. If a balance remained in the account that was due to the facility, once the exact amount due was determined, the facility would issue a check to the facility's General account. During a telephone interview with the facility's CFO (Chief Financial Officer) on [DATE] at 1:30 p.m., he stated that the $50.45 remained in the resident's trust account because it had not been determined if the resident owed any money to the facility since the Explanation of Benefits for Medicare and Medicaid services had not been received by the facility. | 2014-12-01 |
