Abstract

Effective July 1, 1995, as part of the nursing facility enforcement regulations, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services required states to provide nursing facilities with the opportunity for informal dispute reolution reviews. This dispute resolution system was set up in order to avoid the potentially prolonged resolution process associated with more formal appeals. These regulations do not prevent a nursing facility from pursuing a former appeal of the disputed deficiency, but the regulations do give an expedited alternative to the formal process.
