CMS Updates Visitation at ICF/IIDs and PRTFs During Public Health Emergency

On February 10, 2021, CMS posted updated visitation guidance … QSO-21-14-ICF/IID & PRTF for Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IIDs) and Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs).  This is a 10-page memorandum.

This guidance is significant in that it is the 1st readdressing of visitation since the PHE began nearly a year ago.  Nursing Home visitation was last addressed by CMS on September 17, 2020.  I will continue to watch for additional memorandums that will likely address visitation in long-term care and assisted living facilities.  You’ll see such notifications here on the BriggsNetNews blog website.
