managed care and the mds - Page 2

ibtootie, you are correct. MDS completed for residents in certified beds require A0410=3. In Texas, residents in non-certified beds require A0410=2.

Wouldn't it be simpler if the software programs simply offered a selection option for a Managed care assessment? I doubt the Managed Care companies will ever be going away and will become more common in the upcoming years, so it would be nice to have a less obscure method to use in order to stay compliant.

I know that at least one software product DOES allow you to distinguish non-Part A PPS-like assessments, but I'm afraid I don't remember which one. If you happen to be on the market for software, ask about this.
