Further provides that verbal notice shall be given no later than the close of each survey day and that the timeframes for the nursing facility to provide the missing documentation shall be no more restrictive than those in effect as of January 15, 2010. Permits the provider to request an administrative review if, after receiving the final determination, the provider believes that the basis for reducing the facility's MDS rate was in error. Effective immediately.Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts similar provisions, but with the following changes: Provides that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall establish by rule a procedure for sharing preliminary Minimum Data Set (MDS) Compliance Review findings with nursing facilities prior to completion of the on-site review (rather than shall establish by rule a procedure for Minimum Data Set (MDS) Compliance Review). Provides that the procedure shall include, but not be limited to, notification (rather than verbal notice) to a nursing facility of specific areas of missing documentation required under the Illinois Administrative Code and the federally mandated resident assessment instrument likely to be determined deficient upon conclusion of the Department's quality assurance review process. Eliminates language requiring the Department to give verbal notice of specific deficiencies in documentation by the close of each survey day. Contains provisions on appealing an MDS rate change and documentation offered during appeal. Effective immediately. 2/3/2010HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
