A 3902 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain nursing homes to improve quality ratings.

New Jersey's Assembly Bill A3902 requires nursing homes participating in Medicaid with a federal CMS Five-Star Quality Rating of one star to create and implement a six-month corrective action plan aimed at improving their rating to at least two stars. These facilities must submit detailed plans to the Department of Human Services outlining specific steps to address quality issues identified in CMS inspections, staffing, and resident care data, with approval needed before implementation. If a nursing home fails to comply with the approved plan or submit required progress reports every 60 days, it loses Medicaid reimbursement eligibility - though services continue until Medicaid residents are relocated, with the facility responsible for providing written discharge plans. The bill directly affects Medicaid-certified nursing homes in New Jersey with the lowest quality ratings, aiming to mandate quality improvements through structured accountability.
