Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to provide the Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice (SNFABN) (CMS form ) for three of three residents reviewed (#38, #40, and #77) who were discharged from Medicare Part A services and remained in the facility. The facility also failed to ensure that the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (CMS form ) was received by the responsible party (RP) for one resident (#38), and that the CMS form was provided prior to termination of services for one resident (#40). Findings include: During interview on 3/27/13 at 8:00 a.m., the facility's Financial Controller stated that the CMS form Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage was the only notice that she was aware of that had been provided for a resident or RP when a resident was discharged from Medicare Part A services but, the Social Services Director (SSD) was responsible for issuing those notices. The Financial Controller verified that residents #38, #40, and #77 had not used up their 100 days of Part A eligibility, and that all three remained in the facility after termination of skilled services. Review of resident #38's Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage form (CMS form ) revealed that there was no evidence that the resident's responsible party had received the notice. Review of resident #40's Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage form (CMS form ) revealed that his/her skilled services ended on 12/23/12 but, the form was not signed by the resident until 12/26/12. During an interview on 03/27/13 at 12:50 p.m., the SSD stated that he mailed the CMS form to the RP when a resident was discharged from skilled services. He said that was the only form he provided even if the resident stayed in the facility. The SSD stated that he had mailed the CMS form to resident #38's RP, and tried to reach them by telephone to determine if they wanted to appeal the decision to terminate the skilled services but, he did not document that information. The SSD verified that resident #40 did not sign the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverageform until after his/her skilled services had ended. |
