Description
CMS completely rewrote all the swing bed regulations and the Tag numbers. Many CAHs are not aware of these swing bed changes and are still struggling to comply. It is challenging to figure out what the interpretive guidelines and survey procedure as there was no crosswalk between Appendix W – for CAH – and Appendix PP – Long Term Care. This webinar was created to take the mystery out of this. This is a must attend webinar for any CAHs with swing beds.
Information on how to locate the CAH manual and other resources will be discussed. There will also be a discussion of the 1135 Waivers available to Critical Access Hospitals with Swing Beds.
CMS has a new address to access the CMS manuals and a new email to address questions directly to CMS and both will be included.
