KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - A Farragut nursing home will have to relocate patients after the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that its ability to participate in the Medicare program had been terminated.

CMS provided notice to the Summit View of Farragut, located at 12823 Kingston Pike, on Sept. 1 that stated the Medicare provider agreement between the nursing home and the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) would be terminated “due to the facility’s failure to attain substantial compliance with Medicare’s health and safety requirements,” according to a release.

According to CMS officials, the involuntary termination of the provider agreement is “generally a last resort after all other attempts to remedy the deficiencies at a facility have been exhausted.”

For Summit View of Farragut, a spokesperson said the facility was out of compliance with CMS’ health and safety requirements.

“CMS is committed to patient safety and quality of care,” a release stated. ‘We are closely monitoring the relocation of Medicare and Medicaid patients to other facilities.”
