CMS corrects RUG data problem

CMS has corrected a problem that was preventing the processing of skilled nursing facility claims. The problem involved the data submission process that validates RUG-III and RUG-IV codes on SNF claims and resulted in errors in the RUG data that appear on providers' Final Validation Reports. CMS reported to AHA that providers should continue to submit MDS 3.0 records, as processing of the Final Validation Reports has resumed.

For more information, see the CMS notice.
