We have a new therapy company. On their first day they asked me to unlock a PPS MDS
and change the ARD because they thought they could capture a higher RUG score. I
refused. Now they are asking me to change the ARDs soon after I post the schedule.
This does not usually involve RV-RU groups-often RM and RH. I think this may be legal
as they are asking me to change the dates prior to the ARDs but I'm not sure this is
ethical. I definitely don't think it is standard practice. Can anyone validate this?
