Clearpol's Opinion of this Guidance as of 05/11/2023
CDPH’s online COVID-19 SNF Survey is discontinued. The weekly CDPH COVID-19 surveillance/response-driven testing data reporting specified by AFL 20-60 is also no longer required and also not needed to be reported to NHSN unless requested.
QSO-23-13-ALL provides guidance. SNFs must continue to submit weekly COVID-19 data to DHHS via the CDC’s NHSN system until 12/31/24, in accordance with Title 42 CFR § 483.80(g). The reporting requirement at §483.80(g)(1)(viii) regarding COVID-19 vaccine status of residents and employees will continue indefinitely.
SNFs still must notify residents, resident representatives, and family members when there are COVID-19 positive residents or healthcare workers, per §483.80(g)(3) by 5 p.m. the next calendar day following the occurrence of either:
· A single confirmed infection of COVID-19, or
· 3 or more residents or employees with new-onset of respiratory symptoms occurring within 72 hours of each other.
Failure to report resident or employee incidences of communicable disease or infection, including confirmed COVID-19 cases (or Persons Under Investigation for COVID-19) as required may result in a federal and/or separate state enforcement action. CMS will impose a per day CMP of $1,000 for one day failure to report that week and an additional one-day CMP at an amount increased by $500 for each subsequent week.
Failure to comply may also be subject to a B citation.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has announced that effective May 12, 2023, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are no longer required to report COVID-19 data daily to CDPH via the COVID-19 SNF Survey. Instead, SNFs must report weekly COVID-19 data to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) via the CDC's National Health Safety Network (NHSN) system until December 31, 2024, unless DHSS specifies an earlier date. Additionally, SNFs must continue to report COVID-19 vaccine status of residents and staff indefinitely. The weekly CDPH COVID-19 surveillance/response-driven testing data reporting specified in AFL 20-60 will also no longer be required effective May 12, 2023. SNFs do not need to report COVID-19 surveillance/response-driven testing data to NHSN, unless requested. Failure to report may result in federal and/or separate state enforcement action. Facilities must continue to notify residents, representatives, and families when there are COVID-19 positive cases in the facility.
