An advisory to healthcare staffing firms on permissible rates that may be charged to long-term care facilities in Massachusetts was released March 29 by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell.

“Affordability continues to be a major challenge for Massachusetts residents and their loved ones seeking long-term care, which is why temporary nurse staffing agencies need to adhere to state regulations,” Campbell said. “Today’s advisory serves as a resource to these agencies and a reminder that my office stands ready to act if temporary nursing agencies attempt to overcharge or mislead long-term care facilities in the commonwealth.”
