Website Update Notice
DADS has updated Texas Minimum Data Set (MDS) Resources:
Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 Medicare Assessment Calculator
An MDS 3.0 Prospective Payment System (PPS) Assessment Calculator is posted on the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services MDS website in the Document Library at: http://www.dads.state.tx.us/providers/MDS/library/
The PPS Assessment Calculator is an interactive Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that calculates when MDS 3.0 Medicare PPS assessments are due. It is intended for nursing homes and swing bed providers. At a minimum, a provider can enter the date of admission or reentry to find the initial windows (sets of days) when the scheduled PPS assessments are due.
If the provider enters key information for all scheduled and unscheduled PPS assessments, as well as any non-billed Medicare days due to Leave of Absence, then the calculator will adjust scheduled PPS assessment due dates appropriately and identify the due dates for Change of Therapy evaluations.
Calculator features include therapy minutes tracking, 2-page formatting for easy printing, optional color coding of scheduled PPS assessments, and detailed instructions.
