CMS Pub. 100-16, ch. 4, § 10.13
Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Coverage
Prior to termination of SNF services, the provider must deliver a valid written notice to
the enrollee of the MAO’s decision to terminate covered services no later than two days
before the proposed end of the services (42 CFR § 422.624(b)). The MAO is financially
liable for continued services until two days after the enrollee receives valid notice. If the
enrollee’s services are expected to be fewer than two days in duration, the provider
should notify the enrollee at the time of admission to the provider. An enrollee who
receives advance notice and agrees with the termination of services earlier than 2 days
hence, may waive continuation of services.
