Public Notice: “Voluntary Withdrawal” from Medicare

Peace Haven Association, located at 12630 Rott Road, St. Louis, MO, notified CMS on March 1, 2022 of its intention to withdraw from Medicare.

Peace Haven, federally recognized as a Religious Non-medical Health Care Institution since 1965, has requested a termination date of April 1, 2022 from the Medicare program. As of April 1, 2022, Peace Haven will no longer bill Medicare for Federal subsidized funding for Christian Science nursing services provided at Peace Haven. This decision by the Board of Trustees of Peace Haven was made after months of thoughtful discussion and deliberation.

Peace Haven, which is annually licensed by the state of Missouri as an “intermediate care facility,” will continue to provide Christian Science nursing care without interruption for those relying wholly on Christian Science for healing. All financial funding needs will be handled through various private funding sources.

Any questions regarding this public notice may be directed to the Executive Director of Peace Haven at admin@PeaceHavenAssociation.org.
