Increased Penalty Amounts

10005.11 - Increased Penalty Amounts (Rev. 221; Issued: 05-10-24; Effective: 05-10-24; Implemetation:05-10-24) Following the imposition of a lower level penalty amount (either the middle range or the lower range), CMS may increase the per day penalty amount for any condition-level deficiency or deficiencies which become sufficiently serious to pose potential harm or IJ. CMS increases the per day penalty amount for deficiencies that are not corrected and found again at the time of revisit survey(s) for which a lower level penalty was imposed. For repeated noncompliance with the same condition-level deficiency or for uncorrected deficiencies from a prior survey, CMS may impose an increased CMP amount.
