If a resident returns from an MLOA, how long do we have to determine if the resident is a significant change? Example: Resident returns from MLOA 11/21 (12 day hospital stay) Quarterly due - Day 92 is 11/23 Must we do a quarterly MDS by 11/23? Or do we have a grace period to determine if the resident should be a significant change? Thanks!
