The July action, filed in Superior Court, also charged that family members were not consulted when patients were “dumped” at other facilities or onto the street.
“Although Lakeview disputes the underlying allegations, the costs associated with litigating against the City are most appropriately put towards resident care,” the facility’s administrator, DJ Weaver, said via email. Healthcare experts have warned that the money skilled nursing facilities are paid under a plan by the federal government to care for people stricken by the coronavirus would lead to patient-dumping by unscrupulous operators. The reimbursement plan pays more than four times more for COVID-19 patients than homes can charge for long-term residents with relatively mild conditions.The lawsuit is similar to another filed in 2019 by the city attorney’s office against Lakeview Terrace.
SNF’s always are trying to get the highest ratio of short-term vs long-term patients, best payor source, most lucrative ddx at any given time. I’d say the shadiness in how they do this is fairly constant. There just happens to be a lot of COVID pts this year
