MDS CONSULTANT SERVICES
NEED MDS CODING QUESTIONS ANSWERED?
Q&A assistance by phone is a 10 to 15-minute MDS consultation service.
- Ask an MDS-related question to MDS/RAI ADVISOR with an online payment of $24.99 for a 10 to 15-minute session. Please include a thorough, detailed scenario with your question so that the best answer can be given within the time frame.
Choose time of appointment at least 1 hour from the time you are sending in your question. This will provide ample time to provide you specific RAI manual page numbers as reference to support answers to your questions, if applicable.
Type your question on the online appointment form as detailed as possible (i.e., DC or admit dates if they apply).
If you prefer to get a response in writing instead of a phone call, simply say so when you book the phone consultation.
We got answers... from Section A through Z!
