Title: ●Revision of Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities: Arbitration Agreements (CMS-3342-F) | |
Abstract:
This final rule revises the requirements that Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Specifically, it removes provisions prohibiting binding pre-dispute arbitration and strengthens requirements regarding the transparency of arbitration agreements in LTC facilities. This rule supports the resident’s right to make informed choices about important aspects of his or her healthcare. In addition, this rule is consistent with our approach to eliminating unnecessary burden on providers. |
