Need some help. Today I was preparing my MDS for transmit to the state as I do every Thurs. My verification report came out w/ some strange reason's why the mds's were not able to be transmitted. #1: unanswered questions not completed. Well I manually went through these. Every question was answered. This in on the new short form for the 5 day. #2: when I actually submitted to the state all of my records were REJECTED. The reason was MDS item: vcode and (2.0D). I spent the day trying to figure it out. Unfortunately our system Monette was closed for the day, and of course so was the state for ?'s. I then went home, and cruised the HCFA site and found an article that explained what the added MDS item was and the 2.0D, bottom line I don't know if it is our system that was recently updated last Friday or am I actually not doing something right. Our social worker puts in the info for the fac sheet, and sections A AA AB. She wasn't at work today either. Anyway, besides being rejected it was a FATAL ERROR. It was an error #29, looked it up, but this error system info I have is from March 2000. So no where on #29 does this address my problem. If any one is interested I found on HFCA site :CHANGES FROM VERSION 1.10 TO VERSION 1.20 OF THE MDS 2.0 DATA SPECIFICATIONS, April 15, 2002 (v2). Appreciate any help. thanks TEX:confused:
