This is pretty big news that might be more easily digested by lawyers, but has significant impact on Nursing Homes (heads up Elder Care Pros) and their residents, family members or other patient representatives.
"The guidance creates two new tags, F847 Enter into Binding Arbitration Agreements and F848 Select Arbitrator/Venue, Retention of Agreements. To avoid those, facility staff must explicitly inform a resident or family of their right not to sign an arbitration agreement and ensure that any agreement is explained in a “manner that he or she understands, including in a language the resident and his or her representative understands.” Facilities must also grant residents 30 days to rescind agreements."

The US Supreme Court this week refused to hear arguments that nursing homes should be able to require pre-dispute arbitration agreements, clearing the way for enforcement of stiff new arbitration rules to begin in earnest this fall.
