Summary
The facility failed to provide a required Notification of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) letter to a resident who was discharged home after their health improved and they no longer required the services provided by the facility. Record review showed that while the resident received a Nursing Home Transfer or Discharge notice and arrangements were made for home health services, there was no documentation that a NOMNC letter was given. The Social Services Director confirmed during an interview that the NOMNC letter was not provided, and the resident did not leave against medical advice.
