State AGs have asked the White House to reconsider ‘rollback’ of nursing home oversight reforms, according to an article on the Times-Standard website.
A letter sent by 17 attorney generals is urging federal agencies to reconsider the “regulatory rollback” of reforms under the Obama administration meant to prevent nursing home patient abuse, fraud and neglect.
The letter was sent in anticipation of the June rule-making process where several the 2016 nursing home oversight reforms will be revisited to deem whether they are too burdensome, according to a news release from California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began implementing long-term nursing home care reforms in 2016 meant to prevent the spread of infections, improve staff training, provide protections against abuse against Medicaid and Medicare patients, and ban arbitration agreements.
