Thank you for the response - when I was at the
AANAC conference in Atlantic City I was told that they had been added to M2b
from a speaker in a session I had attended. She was going to email me
the information but I never received it. I just wanted to make sure
something had not changed.----- Original Message -----
Arterial ulcers are not included in
M2b. See the "coding" instructions on page 3-162 of the RAI User's
Manual. Also, see the 2nd example on page
3-164.

I have been trying to get a question out for three
days. iIdo not have any trouble receving any other email - I
just can't initiate a email. Can you help?
I just
wanted to know if arterial ulcers are clasified in M2 as stasis ulcers
or is this strictly for venous stasis ulcers? Thanks.

Lisa, Yes, why does this trigger or why is this a
particular problem for this resident and frequently you will find
yourself interjecting the medical diagnosis. I guess that each
surveyor has specific points that they are looking for and what
pleases one may not please another. Overall, I try to be very detailed
in my rap summary --sometimes hard to do if pressed for time.
