County warns commissioners re CMS revalidation, says sensitive personal data required for nursing‑home ownership update
Summary
County staff said Medicare/Medicaid revalidation and change‑of‑ownership reporting for the county nursing home requires sensitive personal information for commissioners listed as owners; board members were told Social Security numbers, dates of birth and birthplaces will be submitted.
County staff briefed the commissioners on an upcoming Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) revalidation tied to the county nursing home and a simultaneous change‑of‑ownership filing the staff said is required when board composition or named owners change.
Staff explained the CMS process requires identification data for named owners and executives. As presented at the meeting, the revalidation and change‑of‑ownership updates will require commissioners to provide Social Security numbers, dates of birth, country of birth and state of birth for submission. Staff also noted there are application questions about prior felony convictions; staff said those parts of the application would be handled privately and off the public record.
The board was asked to be prepared to provide the required personal information so the nursing home can maintain Medicare and Medicaid participation and continue to receive reimbursement. No vote was taken; staff said they will collect the data from each commissioner privately and complete the revalidation by the end of January, the CMS deadline cited in the discussion.
Speakers emphasized the requirement is tied to continuing Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for the county nursing home and was described as an administrative necessity rather than a policy change.
