According to the RAI, the annual assessment must be COMPLETED WITHIN 12 MONTHS of the preceding one. So, your R2b & V2b dates must both be BEFORE the end of the 12 month period.

I had to do that for a surveyor questioning coding on siderails. Be nice when you do point out something from the manual. : - ) We just had survey and the team leader said that they don't have the "updated" manuals because the department of health did not buy them! I said, you can download it and all updates from the internet. She said she hates to use the computer!!!!! They are surveying us! Good luck, keep smiling.
