A Pennsylvania senator is calling for the federal government to investigate Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Five-Star Quality Rating System.
In a letter to the Government Accountability Office, Sen. Robert Casey (D-PA) asked for the agency conduct an assessment into the Five-Star system’s accuracy and reliability. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) joined Casey’s push for closer scrutiny. The Five-Star system is part of the CMS’ Nursing Home Compare web tool.
