11238 ANSTED CENTER 515133 106 TYREE STREET OPERATIONS, LLC /P.O DRAWER 400 ANSTED WV 25812 2009-08-05 203 C 0 1 Q61611 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of the facility's uniform notification of transfer / discharge form, the facility failed to correctly communicate to all residents and responsible parties the contact information of the single State agency responsible for reviewing all appeals of the transfer / discharge decision. Instead, the uniform notice gave residents / responsible parties the option to file such an appeal with five (5) different agencies. This error in the uniform notice may led a resident to mistakenly file an appeal request with the wrong agency and may interfere in the resident's ability to exercise his or her right to the appeal. Additionally, the uniform discharge notice provided incorrect information regarding the current State long-term care (LTC) ombudsman, who has held this position since May 2008, and the agency designated in West Virginia to provide protection and advocacy to individuals with mental [MEDICAL CONDITION] and mental illness. This deficient practice has the potential to affect all residents of the facility. Facility census: 55. Findings include: a) Review of the uniform notification of transfer / discharge form provided by the facility revealed the following: "You have the right to appeal this action to:" This was followed by the names and contact information of the Office of Inspector General Board of Review, the State Ombudsman, and the Regional Ombudsman. Immediately following the above list of names and addresses was: "Or, for the resident with developmental disabilities or those who are mentally ill, you may contact:" This was followed by the names and contact information for "West Virginia Advocates Local Mental Health" and "Medicaid Fraud". This uniform notification form contained the following errors: 1. The Office of Inspector General is the only agency in WV to which appeals of transfer / discharge decisions may be made. None of the four (4) other agencies identified in the notice is responsible for this activity. This error in the uniform notice may led a resident to mistakenly file an appeal with the wrong agency and may interfere in the resident's ability to exercise his or her right to the appeal. 2. The name of the State LTC ombudsman was incorrect. The current State LTC ombudsman assumed the position in May 2008, and the facility's uniform notice was not revised to reflect this. 3. The single agency designated in WV to provide protection and advocacy to individuals with both mental [MEDICAL CONDITION] and mental illness is "West Virginia Advocates, Inc." (not "West Virginia Advocates Local Mental Health"). "Medicaid Fraud" does not provide these services. . 2014-07-01
