Q:
How long do we have to make corrections to an erroneously coded MDS assessment that has been submitted and accepted into IQIES?
A:
A correction can be submitted for any accepted record within 2 years of the target date of the record for facilities that are still open. If a facility is terminated, then corrections must be submitted within 2 years of the facility termination date. A record may be corrected even if subsequent records have been accepted for the resident. Errors identified in IQIES records must be corrected within 14 days after identifying the errors.
