If a resident was admitted on June 1 and had a physician visit on June 27, July 29, and September 4, what is the facility's compliance status regarding OBRA 1987?

Under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987, nursing facilities are required to ensure that each resident has received a physician's visit within a specified timeframe after admission. The law mandates that a physician must assess the resident within 30 days of admission and subsequently at least every 60 days thereafter for the first year, and thereafter at least once every 90 days.

In this scenario, the resident was admitted on June 1 and had visits on June 27 (within 30 days of admission), July 29, and September 4. The visits meet the requirement of having the initial assessment within 30 days of admission and continuing care within the stipulated intervals. Therefore, the facility's actions are aligned with the compliance requirements set forth by OBRA 1987, confirming that the facility is in compliance with the regulation regarding physician visits.

This indicates that the facility maintained proper oversight of the resident's health needs, making the compliance status favorable as it demonstrates adherence to the mandated schedules for medical evaluations.
