Brian Frosh, the state’s attorney general, announced that a lawsuit was filed against Neiswanger Management Services, LLC, doing business as NMS.
Frosh said a look at NMS’s operations over a 17-month period showed a clear pattern of behavior. He said NMS represents 2 percent of all the nursing home beds in the state, yet “they represent 66 to 70 percent of the evictions.” In some cases, Frosh said, patients were “Just tossed out — they put their (the patients’) stuff out in front of the facility and closed the door.”
The suit alleges that NMS would evict patients in order to maximize reimbursement from the federal program. Medicare reimburses facilities at a higher rate than Medicaid.

ReplyDeleteThis is not news; it's been that way for years. It's a little game that hospitals, nursing homes and rehab facilities play. You get three midnights in a hospital then they ship you to a rehab facility for 21 days and unless you get a "qualifying" disease or condition you get shipped home and the cycle starts all over again.
