Title: Still Confused about ARD
|
Right. If you realize that the resident
should have been on Medicare from admission but didn't know it until day 9, you
cannot go back and set an assessment date in the 1-8 day window since the window
has closed. You would have to set the assessment reference date on
day 9 (or later) and complete the assessment. If, however, you would have
identified the problem on day 8 you could have set the ARD any day from day 1-8
( including grace days).

Subject: Still Confused about ARD
Can you retroactively set ARD after the grace days
have passed? When I read pg 2-40 or RAI Manual it says "A late or missed
assessment may be completed as long as the window for the allowable ARD
(including grace days) has not passed." To me this means that once you
are beyond the grace days, you can't go back and set the ARD. Am I
misinterpreting???
