This past September, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) posted revised interpretive guidelines concerning the use of feeding tubes in nursing homes. In late October, CMS retracted the Survey & Certification Letter detailing the revised changes so they could include instructions that pertain to the Quality Indicator Survey (“QIS”). Further revised interpretive guidelines will be available soon.
