All 442 federally certified nursing homes in the state went through an infection control survey from March 26 through June 19. BCHS serves as an agent of the Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services and provides regulatory oversight of the states nursing homes. When a complaint is received by BCHS that may fall in this category, health care surveyors have 48 hours to go on-site to conduct the investigation. The new mandate requires states complete 100% of the focused infection control surveys of federally certified nursing homes by Aug. 31 or lose up to 15% of the CARES federal funding.
