Section GG Beyond Frustrated

[litbitblack, ASN, RN]

So Nov. 1st we were told we had to start completing Section GG on the MDS and next October is when Section G will be going away. I am in a private pay facility. We do not bill Medicare. Therapy is contracted out and they bill Medicare for their part. But state has said we have to complete it any way for date collection. We are a Dementia care facility. We mostly admit residents that are not discharging unless they go to the hospital and hopefully return. This thing wants admission info. ( they have been here 2 years) and a primary medicare diagnosis that it won't accept. So frustrating just for information collection.
