Plain-English summary

This tag directs surveyors to document any NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code deficiencies (excluding Chapters 7, 8, 12, and 13) that are not captured by other specific K-Tags, recording them in the Remarks section of Form CMS-2567. It is a catch-all documentation instruction for fire and life safety survey findings rather than a regulation governing a specific type of behavioral health or other licensed facility.
