In a move sure to surprise many providers, the Government Accountability Office will investigate the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Five-Star Quality Rating System, according to a published report.
Notice of the investigation appeared in a Bloomberg BNA article, following a request first reported by McKnight’s from Sens. Robert Casey (D-PA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR). The lawmakers want the government watchdog to investigate the system, which is part of the CMS’ Nursing Home Compare web tool.
