  • REMINDER: MassHealth Issues Nursing Facility Bulletin for Room Density Reporting and Planning – CHIA Online Filing and Signed Attestation Due on October 23rd
October 16, 2020

MassHealth this week issued Nursing Facility Bulletin 151 which requires all nursing homes to report the number of rooms by type (single, two-bedded, three-bedded, and four-bedded) within their facility, regardless of whether or not the beds are occupied, as well as the number of residents residing in each room.  All nursing facilities must complete the attestation and reporting requirements of Nursing Facility Provider Bulletin 151 by 11:59 p.m. on October 23, 2020, using the prescribed reporting form via a CHIA online survey. As a condition for receiving Covid-19 targeted payments, facilities with more than two licensed beds or more than two residents per room must attest to taking immediate steps towards reducing or eliminating room assignments with more than two residents per room through an established set of measures delineated in the bulletin.
