A LeadingAge NY webinar on filing redetermination and penalty reduction requests (which must be submitted by Aug. 17^th) is available on-demand to members.

This document contains screen-shots of the DOH Minimum Staffing Penalty Reduction Application which must be completed electronically.   It may be helpful for members who want to compile the required information for submission in advance of entering it on-line.

Eight in 10 nursing homes in the state were unable to meet mandated staffing levels in the first quarter of 2023.

Accurate and timely PBJ data submission is critical for Five-Star ratings and staffing level compliance.

The FAQs include a chart describing progressive penalties based on the gap between the facility's staffing and the overall 3.5 nursing hours per resident day and the number of quarters out of compliance. Progressive penalties may be fully or partially reduced based on mitigating factors.

Changes in law impact nursing homes, ADHC programs, diagnostic and treatment centers, hospitals, and other employers.
