The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a unanimous decision in an implied certification case that could have far-reaching consequences for skilled nursing care providers.

In its annual report to Congress, MedPAC continues to push for a unified cross-setting post-acute care payment system.

The long-awaited July 1 deadline to meet CMS mandates regarding staffing in long term and post-acute care centers is less than a month away, and providers are hurrying to test their data before the program goes live.

A new law would make it much easier for rural patients to stay connected with their primary physicians and any other specialists they may need.

CMS' just-released final rule defining fire protection and other life safety guidelines is engineered to allow health care facilities to keep more homelike features while still ensuring that the most modern fire protection practices are in place.

The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission isn't interested in the idea of increasing skilled nursing facility payment rates, according to its seven-page letter to CMS.

With more than 25 million elders predicted to have a vision problem by 2050, addressing eye diseases and related issues increasingly needs to take center stage in long term care settings, experts say.

CMS data show that the reduction of the off-label use of antipsychotics in AHCA-member skilled nursing centers is moving at a faster rate than in nonmember centers.

AHCA/NCAL takes exception to heart and stroke associations' assertion that stroke patients should not go to skilled nursing centers for rehabilitation.

More than 400 long term and post-acute care providers are gathered in Washington today to discuss legislative priorities with their lawmakers.
