To amend title XI of the Social Security Act to ensure nursing facilities report information on medical directors of such facilities.

HR 177 requires nursing facilities to report specific information about their medical directors to the federal government. This affects all nursing facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid, as they must include this data in required reports starting 90 days after updated regulations are published. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Health and Human Services issue these updated regulations within two years, making the reported medical director information publicly available on the Nursing Home Compare website six months after the regulations publish. This creates a new data point for the public to review regarding nursing facility leadership.
