Here is a link to the CMS site which shows the 34 RUGS version

Hope this helps. Carol -----Original Message----- From: Gail RN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Dec 15, 2003 4:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RUGS Question
They are billing codes that the business office is using. 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??
