Ban on Nursing Home Arbitration: Greater Resident Rights Protection

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Nursing home residents will not be required to agree to arbitration before a dispute arises, giving them the freedom to choose legal action. Pre-dispute arbitration agreements with nursing facilities will not be valid or enforceable, regardless of when they were signed. Decisions on the validity of arbitration agreements will be made by courts, not arbitrators, ensuring independent review.

This act prohibits nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities from requiring residents to sign pre-dispute arbitration agreements. This means residents and their families can pursue their rights in court, not just through arbitration, enhancing their legal protection. The changes apply to both Medicare and Medicaid programs.
