I know that in order to code terminal on the MDS the MD must write less than six months.  My question is: May I address the issue of terminal illness in the RAP?  Oncologist has progress note that indicates terminal state, but does not specifically state less than 6 months.  Based on this would be ok to address terminal status in the RAP's?  Thanks.
