  • The Department is transitioning from a Level of Care based Medicaid reimbursement method to an acuity based method that utilizes MDS assessments to calculate RUG levels.

  • This change does not affect how nursing homes code the MDS for their Medicaid residents. Nursing homes should continue completing MDS assessments following requirements specified in the RAI manual.

  • No additional MDS assessments are required and WI continues to require the standard 2-page MDS Quarterly assessment. WI does not require Medicaid resident MDS assessments to be coded as AA8b = 06 (Other State Required Assessment).

  • The Division of Health Care Financing will provide additional information on the changes to nursing home Medicaid reimbursement in a future Medicaid Update release.

All Providers: Check out the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Internet Webcast site http://cms.internetstreaming.com/ (exit DHFS) for presentations on MDS, OASIS, standards of care, quality initiatives, etc.

  • Viewers, after registering, can view webcasts on their own computers up to one year after the presentation date.
