A WCNC Charlotte investigation revealed nursing homes that were fined thousands of dollars after deadly COVID-19 infections spread within their walls also collected government bonuses that, in most cases, offset their original penalties.
WCNC Charlotte s analysis of twosets of federal data identified more than 100 nursing homes in the Carolinas that collected federal incentive payments despite infection control and COVID-19-related penalties, receiving a combined $10 million more in bonuses than penalties.
More than 80% of those nursing homes also had at least one resident die from COVID-19 since March 2020, according to an analysis of Pro Publica s Nursing Home Inspect database.
