Mealey's (May 13, 2019, 10:59 AM EDT) -- RICHMOND, Va. — A 2-1 panel of the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on May 8 upheld a ruling from an appellate board of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that a skilled nursing facility failed to comply with federal regulations for the quality of care it provides to patients, holding that the board did not act arbitrarily or capriciously when finding that the facility did not take proper actions when caring for a 62-year-old patient who needed his teeth extracted (Putnam Center v. United States Department of Health & Human Services, No. 18-1256, 4th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 13770)....
