Summary
CMS has issued a proposed rule that would require hospitals to assist patients in selecting a post-acute care provider by using and sharing SNF quality measures data. For patients enrolled in managed care, if the hospital has information regarding which providers participate in the managed care organization’s network, it must share this information with the patient.
