Today, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) repealed provisions of the Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care (LTC) Facilities and Medicaid Institutional Payment Transparency Reporting Final Rule, originally finalized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). HHS takes this action after determining the final rule imposed by the Biden Administration disproportionately burdened facilities, especially those serving rural and Tribal communities, and jeopardized patient’s access to care.
