Update on COVID-19 Transfer Scenarios

On April 13, 2020, CMS provided additional information regarding transferring or discharging residents based on COVID-19 status. In summary, if two or more certified LTC facilities wish to transfer or discharge residents between themselves for the purpose of cohorting, no additional approval is needed. However, if a certified LTC wishes to transfer or discharge a resident to a non-certified facility, approval from the State Survey Agency is required.

A complete copy of the guidance provided can be found at https://www.cms.gov/files/document/qso-20-25-nh.pdf.

As always, the attorneys at Sandberg Phoenix are available to answer questions or assist with any needs you have.
