MDS Changes for 10-1-20

Missouri opted to collect PDPM HIPPS codes on OBRA assessments with an ARD of 10/1/20 or later. This means that SNFs and NFs in Missouri need to complete additional items on OBRA assessments not combined with a Medicare assessment. Additional items include:

  • GG0130 Self-Care items;
  • GG0170 Mobility items;
  • I0020 and I0020B Primary Medical Condition items;
  • J2100 Recent Surgery item. If J2100 is checked yes, J2300-J5000 are to be completed.
