But your question is MEDICARE MDS.  If the work comp company uses Medicare A criteria to determine eligibility and prove skilled care, yes.  We do Medicare assessments for insurance and HMOs, case managed residents all the time.  This doesn't mean that you will bill Medicare.  The MDS will indicate that the payer source is NOT Medicare as well.  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 2:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: workman's comp In a message dated 4/16/2004 1:35:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: YES, YOU HAVE TO DO MDS ASSESSMENT'S ON EVERY RESIDENT ADMITTED TO YOUR NURSING UNIT.

But not PPS assessments for Medicare.
