Kentucky hospital retains Medicare contract

CMS threatened to revoke Greensburg, Ky.-based Jane Todd Crawford Hospital's Medicare funding Nov. 17. However, a recent recertification survey found the hospital was in compliance with federal standards.

In the termination notice, federal regulators cited issues with organizational structure, staffing levels, staff responsibilities and failure to meet requirements for a critical access hospital. No further details were released.

The termination notice was rescinded Feb. 14, but the measure has a retroactive effect to Nov. 17, meaning the hospital will be reimbursed for Medicare patients treated at the hospital between Nov. 17 and Feb. 14.
