If a resident has a healed stage 1, do we still mark it as healed under "M0900" even though there is no option to check stage 1 below that section. Also, I know we don't measure our stage 1's and that is why I get confused when they are healed.

m0300a: number of stage 1 pressure ulcers (cont.)
coding tips
• if a resident had a pressure ulcer on the last assessment and it is now healed, complete
healed pressure ulcers item (m0900).
hence, code m0900a = yes
then m0900 b c d = 0
Quote from iheartangelinajoliea document of stage/description and location is sufficient.also, i know we don't measure our stage 1's and that is why i get confused when they are healed.
