Does your center have wireless internet access for your residents? 
CMS wants to know it you DO NOT. 
 On September 25, 2023, CMS released QSO 23-23-NHs  Civil Money Penalty Reinvestment Program Revisions.     As part of QSO 23-23-NHs The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is assessing the need for internet in nursing homes.   Once they assess the number of facilities without this capability and the reasons for the lack of access, they will determine if CMP funds can be used for a project to help address these issues.
 
Nursing Homes which do NOT have broadband wireless internet access for residents are requested to complete this form  and submit to CMS at CMP-info@cms.hhs.gov no later than December, 22, 2023.
