: Illinois Nursing Home Abuse BlogNursing Home and Hospital Injuries and Errors May not be Covered by Medicare and Medicaid
By Levin & Perconti
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) may increase the number of events they refuse to reimburse nursing homes and negligent hospitals for carrying out.
