During the COVID-19 Public Health
Emergency (PHE), individuals residing in congregate settings, such
as ICFs-IID and Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities were at greater
risk of acquiring COVID-19 infections and once infected, were at
greater risk of severe illness or death. As a result, the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) revised the Conditions of
Participation (CoPs) for many of CMS’ certified providers including
hospitals and institutional care settings in order to reduce the
risk of exposure to and the severity from contracting the COVID-19
virus for medical and non-medical staff and patients. In addition
to the CoPs, health care facilities were obligated to establish an
infection control program that would protect the health and safety
of residents, personnel, and the general public under Sections
1819(d)(3)(B) and 1919(d)(3) of the Act. Individuals housed at
ICFs-IID facilities are mentally and intellectually impaired,
receive Medicaid assistance, and live in congregate settings.
ICF-IID clients may also have other underlying medical conditions
such as visual or hearing impairments, or seizure disorder. Based
on their living situation and underlying health conditions, these
clients were at higher risk of exposure and severe consequences
from COVID-19 and continue to be at higher risk due to new variants
of COVID-19 and other similar acute respiratory illnesses.
US Code:

USC 1396d Name of Law: Social Security Act
The annual burden to industry
decreased from 114,478 hours to 75,721 hours. The decrease in
burden hours is primarily due to the elimination of the CoP at
Section 483.430(f) requiring ICFs-IID to document the “educate and
offer of the COVID-19 vaccine” task for every staff member. A small
portion of the decrease is also due to an overcount of hours in the
prior package for Year 1 in Information Collection No. 3, discussed
in detail in footnote 12.
