Lower Range of Penalty

10005.7 - Lower Range of Penalty (Rev. 221; Issued: 05-10-24; Effective: 05-10-24; Implemetation:05-10-24) Section 488.845(b)(5) for HHA and §488.1245(b)(5) for hospice programs set forth the lower range of penalties. CMPs in the lower range are imposed for a repeat and/or condition-level deficiency that does not constitute IJ and that is related predominately to structure or process- oriented conditions (such as OASIS submission requirements) rather than directly related to patient care outcomes.
