HHS is committed to improving the safety & quality of care in nursing homes & today, announced a new proposed rule requiring nursing homes to disclose additional ownership details -- increasing transparency & holding them accountable.
As President Biden made clear in his second State of the Union address, the Biden-Harris Administration is unwavering in its commitment to improve the safety and quality of care in the nation’s nursing homes. Over the past year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has taken historic actions to deliver on the President’s call to action and ensure seniors and people with disabilities get the reliable, high-quality care they deserve.
“President Biden has made clear: improving our nation’s nursing homes is an urgent priority, and this Administration is not afraid to take bold action to tackle this head-on,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “We are continuing our unprecedented efforts to increase nursing home ownership transparency – because it’s what the public deserves. We are pursuing all avenues to shine a light on this industry.
The proposed rule would implement portions of Section 6101 of the Affordable Care Act. This would require nursing homes enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid — the majority of this country’s nursing homes — to disclose additional information regarding owners, operators, and management; for example, nursing homes would disclose individuals or entities that provide administrative services or clinical consulting services to the nursing homes.
In addition to the Section 6101 disclosures, the proposed rule would provide definitions of “private equity company” and “real estate investment trust” to assist nursing homes when reporting this data.
