Sure, you can do it early. The only regulations are to show that they can't be late.
Early is OK. Since you need to complete each assessment within 92 days of the R2b
date of the last, we often get quarterlies closer together and then the annual needs
to be earlier than 366 days so that it can be within 92 days of the previous quarterly.

Subject: annual assessments
The only reg. I found in the RAI manual is that an annual assessment has to be done no
later than 366 days from last mds and 366 days from last annual, but is there any reg.
that states I can't do one 4-6 weeks early?
