My administrator today told me that our medicaid rate is being adjusted DOWN for the next 6 months. He wanted me to check the coding on the MDS's that had such big changes. But when I received the printout, I found some of these RUGS codes and don't know where they came from or if they might be used specially for billing purposes?? >From: "nursejane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: RUGS Question >Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2003 18:49:27 -0500 > >Where did you get them?
