Summary
This Illinois policy clarifies documentation requirements for medication oversight in Supportive Living Programs. CNAs can provide medication reminders and open containers but cannot document specific medications, while licensed nursing staff must document each individual medication provided.
Action Required
No immediate action required for billing teams unless your practice provides services to Illinois Supportive Living Programs. If applicable, ensure documentation distinguishes between CNA oversight services (general time documentation only) and licensed nursing medication administration (specific medication documentation required).
