Final rule.

Effective on April 18, 2013.

42 CFR Parts 483, 488, 489, and 498

Summary

This rule adopts, with technical changes, the interim rule that publishedFebruary 18, 2011. That interim rule revised the requirements that a long-term care (LTC) facility must meet in order to qualify to participate as a skilled nursing facility (SNF) in the Medicare program, or a nursing facility (NF) in the Medicaid program. The requirements implemented section 6113 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to ensure that, among other things, in the case of an LTC facility closure, individuals serving as administrators of a SNF or NF provide written notification of the impending closure and a plan for the relocation of residents at least 60 days prior to the impending closure or, if the Secretary terminates the facility's participation in Medicare or Medicaid, not later than the date the Secretary determines appropriate.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Proposed rule.

To be assured consideration, comments must be received at one of the addresses provided below, no later than 5 p.m. on April 8, 2013.

42 CFR Parts 416, 442, 482, 483, 485, 486, 488, 491, and 493

Summary

This proposed rule would reform Medicare regulations that CMS has identified as unnecessary, obsolete, or excessively burdensome on health care providers and suppliers, as well as certain regulations under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA). This proposed rule would increase the ability of health care professionals to devote resources to improving patient care, by eliminating or reducing requirements that impede quality patient care or that divert resources away from providing high quality patient care. This is one of several rules that we are proposing to achieve regulatory reforms under Executive Order 13563 on improving regulation and regulatory review and the Department's plan for retrospective review of existing rules.
