  • F561-Self Determination. CMS added guidance related to facility smoking policies.
  • F563-Right to Receive/Deny Visitors. CMS added guidance related to denying visitor access, visitation during communicable disease outbreaks, triggers of substance use after visits, referrals to law enforcement, staff searches, and references to other areas of noncompliance.
  • F582-Medicare/Medicaid Coverage/Liability Notice. CMS made changes to align with the Medicare Claims Processing Manual and simplified the Notice of Medicare Non-coverage (NOMNC) form and SNFABN form.
  • F587-Request/ Refuse/ Discontinue Treatment. Formulate Advance Directives-CMS changes were technical as they corrected a tag reference under the key elements of noncompliance.
