  • FAQs - Alignment of Isolation Waivers, MDS, and Payment Policies
April 10, 2020

AHCA has developed a FAQ document to help providers navigate how the various CDC and CMS COVID-19 guidance and Section 1135 waivers interact with current MDS-RAI coding guidance and payment models in SNFs, specific to situations where it is determined that a resident requires isolation related to the COVID-19 virus. This guidance is intended to provide context to help guide provider decisions and will be updated as necessary as new government policies and guidance are issued.
