CMS Releases Draft of Updated RAI/MDS Manual

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued the draft manual for upcoming changes in the MDS scheduled to take effect October 1, 2016. The draft manual includes steps for assessment, coding instructions, and coding tips for the new Section GG (Functional Abilities and Goals).

Also found in the draft manual are updates to Chapters two and three related to the new MDS PPS discharge assessment.

The draft manual is available here.

LeadingAge New York's ProCare division will be offering educational sessions on the updates once the changes are finalized, and prior to the October 1st implementation.
