Take Action: Write CMS Today!

An unfunded minimum staffing requirement for Skilled Nursing Facilities could cause seniors to lose access to vital care. CMS will issue a minimum staffing rule this spring.  That is why it is so important for you to write to CMS today!

Sending a letter is easy to do via the Action Center page. Instructions are available on the page and will guide you in your letter writing with information to include. AHCA also held a webinar on submitting letters, you can click here to watch it.

It is crucial for providers to reach out to CMS and let them know that a minimum staffing mandate is not the answer to the workforce crisis. Additional resources can be found on AHCA’s Advocacy page, including an issue brief on the minimum staffing mandate.

For questions or assistance in submitting letters, please contact Matthew Smyth or Heather Posthumus at AHCA.
