They just feel that we discharged someone in an unstable condition. And we dispute that because this was an ER doctor decision.

This is an extreme action based on a case that was not even identified in their original complaint.

This just doesn't happen very often.

You'll find some heartening and some sobering conclusions.

We did receive a notice yesterday ... terminating our involvement in the program, a notice of intent to terminate our involvement in Medicare, which of course is of concern to us.

We felt we discharged this patient in a stable condition, and a surveyor, reviewer, thought differently.

I found out this morning at 7:45 when I was called.

Despite those solid gains, improvement haven't come as far and fast as we would have liked, and the achievement gains remains disturbing.

Then, when they re-surveyed in July, they came up with a new case unrelated to the investigation and that's what they based this decision on.
