The ARD can be modified, but the resulting assessment is not stored at the state database as modification number 1; it is stored as a new assessment. When you modify the ARD, you will receive Warning Message -332: "New assessment: A new assessment has been created in the database of the CMS MDS system at the State with the information submitted in this modification request."
When you read further in the Validation Report Messages and Descriptions Manual, p.56, (http://www.qtso.com/mdsdownload.html and scroll to the bottom of the page for this manual), it states that the Cause for this message is: "The modification request submitted contained enough changes in key fields that this assessment was considered a new assessment rather than a modified assessment. Modification of the following fields will cause this message to occur: A3a (assessment reference date), A4a (date of reentry), or R4 (discharge date)." As long as the data was correct, there is no action required for the Warning message. Just when you think you know what is going on, there is always some other little quirk! :) Cathy Petko, Nurse Consultant Myers and Stauffer LC Harrisburg, PA 1-717-541-1203 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/30/04 3:10:19 PM >>> Had a similar situation recently. The ARD cannot be modified. You need to inactivate, recreate the assessment with the new ARD and data. Then submit it. It worked when I did it on a recent assessment.

If so, just do a modification, use "data entry error" as the reason and fix the ARD. HS Holly F. Sox, RN, RAC-C Clinical Editor www.careplans.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: HighlandPark414-MDS To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 2:20 PM Subject: OMRA I made a mistake and transmitted OMRA with the ARD on day 11 instead of day 10. Can I inactivate assessment and transmit it again with the right ARD or we have to take a default payment?
