Update on CMS clarification on ADL coding "rule of 3"

In my March 24th entry, I reported news that CMS had clarified and some would say, redefined, the rule of three.  Please see that entry for details.

Industry advocates have contacted CMS about this clarification as published by various State RAI Managers and as I reported on March 24th.   It remains possible that the ADL algorithm may not change as previously reported by CMS through the State RAI system.   We are still expecting a new RAI manual in May, so we watch and wait.  As usual,  consult your State RAI Manager for specific questions.
