On Aug. 12, Summit View was given notice of a Health Facilities Commission investigation at the facility. The investigation resulted in its Medicare provider agreement being terminated Sept. 1 due to “failure to attain substantial compliance with Medicare’s health and safety requirements.” 

The residents will be forced to find new homes; CMS recommended they visit the Care Compare Website and Hospital Compare Website to aid in that process.

Special monitors were assigned to Summit View, which must pay a $25,000 fine.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
