Transmission is required for all residents of all payer types in facilities or units that are Medicare and/or Medicaid certified.  Transmission is not required for residents in facilities or units that are not Medicare and/or Medicaid certified.  See the definitions on page 5-1 of the RAI User's Manual.  For more detail, also see Provider Instructions Regarding Authority To Submit MDS Records And Use Of The Sub_Req Field at http://www.qtso.com/download/mds/SubReqInstructions3.pdf

MDS transmission has been required for all OBRA assessments since 6/22/98.  Have you received a citation in the mail for failure to transmit?  It is always a widespread scope and the initial cite is a âCâ, and it climbs the severity ladder on the second cite, etc.

We are converting quite a few beds from non-certified to certified.  We have done MDSs on the people in the non-cert beds but have not transported to the state.  Will we have to do admission assessments on these long term care residents now although they may have been in the same bed for years?
