Q:
What happens if someone leaves prior to being assessed?
A:
When the Part A resident dies or is discharged prior to the end of the look-back period for a required assessment, the ARD must be adjusted to equal the discharge date. The provider should prepare a 5-Day assessment as completely as possible and submit the assessment as required.
