To the Honorable, the Assembly:
A983 Pursuant to Section 50.04(5)(fr), Wis. Stats., effective June 17, 1998, the Department is required to submit an annual report to the Legislature related to Class A violations committed by nursing homes (including facilities for the developmentally disabled) and forfeitures assessed on nursing homes for those violations.
The Department issued 27 Class A violations to nursing homes between June 1, 1999 and May 31, 2000. The attached chart details these Class A violations, including their original forfeiture amount assessed and the status of their payment.
Two Class A violations were not assessed state forfeitures in accordance with Section 50.04, but were assessed a federal Civil Money Penalty for a parallel federal deficiency. Southdale Health Care Services and Muskego Nursing Home were assessed and paid Civil Money Penalties totaling $12,285.
Due to their Medicaid certification status, Section 49.498 prohibits the state from levying sanctions to a nursing home for violations under both certification standards (Chapter 49) and state licensure standards (Chapter 50).
As a result of their payment to the Medicaid Civil Money Penalty fund, no state forfeitures were assessed to either of these nursing homes.
Sincerely,
Joe Leean
Secretary
Referred to committee on Health.
