More than 10,000 nursing homes will receive funds from the first round of payments, according to the Oct. 28 HHS announcement.
“We’ve provided nursing homes with resources and training to improve infection control, and we’re rapidly providing incentives to those facilities that are making progress in the fight against COVID-19,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar.
The incentive payment program for nursing homes is divided into five performance cycles.
