Failure to Post Required Medicare/Medicaid Information for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to display required written information for residents and/or their responsible persons on how to apply for and use Medicare and Medicaid benefits and how to receive refunds for previous payments covered by those benefits. During observations on 2/11/26 at approximately 11:30 a.m., surveyors inspected the first-floor lobby and hallways in and around the nursing units, where postings are typically available, and found that information on applying for Medicare and Medicaid and obtaining refunds for prior payments covered by these programs was not posted. In a subsequent interview on 2/12/26 at 9:00 a.m., the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the facility had not displayed this required written information anywhere in the building. The deficiency was cited under 28 Pa. Code: 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee and 28 Pa. Code: 201.18(e) Management.
