There is no place to code it because the MPAF only includes questions that contribute to a RUG-III code. Therefore, it can't be coded as intermittent catheter. If this is part of a training program designed to prepare the resident to return to the community, it can be coded at P1r. Training and skill practice will fall below the "dotted line" on the RUG tree, so it will necessitate daily documentation in clinical record to establish the delivery of daily skilled services.

Hi,

cath (Kaiser insurance); on the MPAF form there is no option listed for
intermittent straight cath; how do I indicate on the MPAF that our resident
