Re: State's here!

Your source is the bottom of page 2-27 of the RAI manual, "Assessments performed solely for Medicare payment purposes must be completed within 14 days of the Assessment Reference Date (ARD)." I save copies of the letters that I send to residents and their families inviting them to attend the conferences.  ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 4:57 PM Subject: State's here! We started our week out with visitors bright and early today, my first experience as a MDS coordinator and the survey process so I am a bit uneasy. Would someone please clarify for me (hopefully I have been doing this correctly …but I am second guessing myself and can’t find my answer in writing)…. 1.   A 5 day medicare assessment …with an ARD on day 9…what is the latest day for signatures (and remain in compliance) at  AA9   and    R2B .   2.   How is everyone inviting (and documenting) Residents to their own careplan meeting.   Thanks.
