2019 Novel Coronavirus
(COVID-19) Long-Term Care Facility (LTC) Transfer Scenarios
CMS is providing
supplemental information for transferring or discharging residents between
skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and/or nursing facilities based on COVID-19
status (i.e., positive, negative, unknown/under observation). In general, if
two or more certified LTC facilities want to transfer or discharge residents
between themselves for the purposes of cohorting, they do not need any
additional approval to do so. However, if a certified LTC facility would like
to transfer or discharge residents to a non-certified location for the
purposes of cohorting, they need approval from the State Survey Agency.
A copy of the guidance and
a graphic explaining the various scenarios can be found here: https://www.cms.gov/files/document/qso-20-25-nh.pdf
