Subject: RE: PRI-NewYork State
Assessment-MD question
The PRI is a New York State Medicaid assessment tool! The rules
differ from those on the MDS.
For the PRI, the rules state that "A visit qualifies whether it is
on-site or off-site, as long as the patient is not an inpatient in a
hospital/other facility." If you have documentation that the resident
was examined by an MD, NP, or PA and the visit was for an unstable
condition you can count it. These qualifiers are almost certainly met
with an ER visit!
If you still have questions, contact the PRI hotline at
212-213-8186.
By the way, it will help the non-New York people if you include a
reference to NY in your subject line. I believe NY is the only state
that uses the PRI, so most of the listserve participants do not know what it
is!

clarification in section P7, �This does not include exams conducted in an
emergency room. If the resident was examined by a physician during an
unscheduled emergency room visit, record the number of times this happened
in the last 90 days in Item P6, �Emergency Room (Visits).�

Hello group,
please help. Does the visit to the ER qualifies as the MD visit? Thank
you. Bogda.
