General Information
Action Summary This action proposes to comply with a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) final rule. CMS announced a final rule in November, 2016, entitled "Emergency Preparedness" (42 CFR 483.73), which requires long term care facilities to establish and maintain an emergency preparedness program. The Virginia Department of Health, the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association, and the nursing facility provider community worked to establish a Long Term Care Mutual Aid Plan and a Memorandum of Understanding for all facilities to sign. This regulatory action is designed to clarify reimbursement provisions relating to reimbursement to disaster-struck nursing facilities.
