Yep, this happened to us, too. We just ended up
having 4 quarterlies. The case mix payment was penalty rate from the 1st of the
month following when the annual should have been done until the 1st of the month
following when we actually did one. Also make a note so the surveyors know you
realized the mistake and reparations were made.

Subject: Re: missed annual
assessments
I disagreee with Cindy. I would not inactivate the quarterly
assessments that you already did. The assessments at the time were done
as quarterlys so you cannot "submit a correct one" because a
comprehensive annual w/ RAPS wasn't done. I would leave the completed
assessments alone and accept the fact that you missed the annual and complete
it ASAP and restart the assessment clock from there. The annual
will be considered late, but you found the error, corrected it, and move
on. If your bosses get upset because you made a mistake, remind them
that we are human too. Maybe as an action plan you can go thru your
other charts and verify what assessments are due on all your other residents
to verify that you are on track and other MDS's weren't
missed. Cindy Kimpe

As
soon as you discover a missed assessment, something must be done.Did you do
a quarterly in Sept and it should have been an Annual? A record is not valid
if the reason for assessment is not correct. You need to Inactivate the
assessment in error and submit the correct one.

What do
you do if you completely missed an annual assessment with raps?
The
resident is due for a quarterly now and I just noticed that he
should
have had an annual back in sept. He had a lot of ins and outs of
the
hospital and quarterly assessments were done but in Sept and Dec
and in
Sept he should have had an annual assessment to keep on track.
Do I just
do it now and do it late. Its been more than 30 days so I
cannot back
track correct????
HELP!!!!
