9554	CHESTNUT RIDGE NSG & REHAB CTR	115423	125 SAMARITAN DRIVE	CUMMING	GA	30040	2011-11-10	156	E	0	1	06HO11	Based on record review and staff interview the facility failed to maintain copies of approved, standardized Advance Beneficiary Notices with all required information completed. The facility also failed to provide evidence that the notices were provided far enough in advance to allow sufficient time for the beneficiary to consider all available options and failed to provide evidence that residents and/or their responsible parties were given the opportunity to make choices related to their future coverage. This affected all residents (census = 136) whose Medicare coverage ended while they were residing in the facility. Findings include: Record review for residents receiving Part A and Part B Medicare benefits revealed that the facility did not maintain the proper documents related to options available to residents when their benefits ended. The records maintained by the facility also did not include page 1 of form CMS- which indicated the date that the resident's skilled services ended. The facility also was unable to produce copies of forms CMS- and CMS-R-131 which allowed these residents or their responsible parties to request a demand bill to pay for continued skilled services after their Part A or Part B medicare coverage ended.	2015-06-01
