RE: OBRA Assessments

There is no reg about doing them early, so go ahead and spread them out. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 10:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OBRA Assessments While understanding that Quarterly assessments must be signed as complete no later than 92 days after the Rb2 of the prior OBRA assessment, our March LTC assessment schedule is quite heavy.  Feb and April calendars are light.  We would like to spread out some of the assessments for the next time around.  How early can you set your ARD for the next quarterly assessment while keeping R2b no later than 92 days?  Would ARD of 70 days with R2b at 83 days be acceptable?  This is a casemix state.
