MDS Required Payment for Missing Assessments (SNF Open Door Forum)
July 2007
The Update
As of June 21, 2007, CMS verified that facilities will not be paid at the default rate when a corresponding MDS assessment has not been entered into the state database.
In order to correct this and receive payment, providers need to submit the missed assessment using the current date as the ARD (not setting the ARD back in time) as soon as the oversight is identified, regardless of how late the assessment is. Once the missing assessment is in the database, the default rate can be billed for the entire payment block.
