Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to issue the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) to two residents (R) discharged off Medicare Part A services (R #35 and R #101), and failed to mail a Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage (SNFABN) to the responsible party for completion for one resident (R #35). Three residents were reviewed for provision of the proper notices. Findings include: Review of the Beneficiary Notice-Residents discharged Within the Last Six Months form completed by the facility revealed that R #101's last covered day of Part A Services was 5/21/18, she remained in the facility, and did not use all of her benefit days. Review of the beneficiary notices revealed the only notice completed was the SNFABN. Review of the Beneficiary Notice-Residents discharged Within the Last Six Months form revealed that R #35's last covered day was 4/7/18, she did not exhaust all of her benefit days, and she remained in the facility. Review of the beneficiary notices revealed that the only notice provided was the SNFABN, and the section on the form to indicate whether or not the resident or responsible party wanted to continue skilled services was blank. During interview with the Social Services Director (SSD) on 6/6/18 at 3:09 p.m., she stated that when she took over issuing the beneficiary notices a few months ago, that she was told to discard all notice forms except the SNFABN, and the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services)-R-131 form for residents on Part B services. She stated during further interview that one of the forms she was told not to use anymore was the NOMNC, so she had not been issuing one for any resident coming off skilled services. She further stated that when she was not able to contact a responsible party in person or by phone to explain the resident's right to appeal and continue skilled services, that she did not mail the form to them, nor request the form be completed and returned to her. |
