I think the issue here might be that the surveyors are less concerned with the timing aspect of the billing than the FI. The FI might want to enforce this, but I am not sure how they would. They do not have access to the MDS database to verify when the MDS was submitted. I bet that will be coming in the future.   Has anyone been through an FI chart audit recently? Did they ask for validation reports? I have never heard of an FI asking for them, but it makes some sense that they would if they suspected you were billing without submitting.   Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 6:52 PM Subject: Re: Modifications In a message dated 2/19/2004 6:31:57 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The regulation requiring that the MDSs are accepted into the state data base before UB 92s can be sent still applies. It may be a regulation, but it's not being enforced!
