Guidance for Every Level of Leadership
-
When surveyors cite deficiencies, the stakes are high. For example, two D-level abuse deficiencies can trigger the Red Hand Alert Icon on the CMS Care Compare website, causing an ACO to refuse to make referrals.
Likewise, an “immediate jeopardy” citation can lead to a high civil money penalty (CMP), a denial of payment for new admissions (DPNA), lower Five-Star Quality ratings and even termination from Medicare. Alan & Associates assist medical directors, administrators, and DONs in achieving and maintaining regulatory compliance while ensuring quality care for SNF, hospice and home health care residents/patients.
-
When CMS imposes a CMP, a DPNA, or termination from Medicare, SNFs rely on Alan’s unique perspective as both a former HHS attorney and healthcare provider as well as his successful representation of SNFs, hospices, and home health agencies. Additionally, Drs. Karl Steinberg and Dan Haimowitz provide the expert medical evaluation, analysis, and recommendations necessary for an optimal outcome.
