Timberlawn Mental Health System hospital seeks to preserve its Medicare and Medicaid funding while going through a months-long administrative appeals process.
Timberlawn has come under scrutiny following the December suicide of a patient. Despite warning staff she wanted to hang herself, she was left unsupervised and given a room with door knobs.
The Texas Department of State Health Services is considering revoking Timberlawn’s license, in addition to CMS’ action.
