DALLAS (AP) Parkland Memorial Hospital will find out by the end of the month whether it will keep its Medicare funding.
A July inspection found violations in such areas as infection control and emergency care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said the hospital faced losing its Medicare funding on Friday if a follow-up inspection didn't find it to be in compliance.
Now, CMS says in a Thursday letter to Parkland that the date of a possible Medicare termination has been pushed back to allow state inspectors time to complete their reports on their follow-up inspection. CMS says if Parkland remains out of compliance, it will be terminated from the program on Sept. 30.

Hospitals must be Medicare-certified to get Medicaid funding, so terminating Medicare would mean the loss of Medicaid.
