Assists in correct resident identification.
Record this number if the resident is a Medicaid recipient. Enter one number or letter per box beginning in the leftmost box. Recheck the number to make sure you have entered the digits correctly. Enter a “+” in the leftmost box if the number is pending. If you are notified later that the resident does have a Medicaid number, just include it on the next assessment. If not applicable because the resident is not a Medicaid recipient, enter “N” in the leftmost box.
To obtain the Medicaid number, check the resident’s Medicaid card, admission or transfer records, or medical record. Confirm that the resident’s name on the MDS matches the resident’s name on the Medicaid card. It is not necessary to process an MDS correction to add the Medicaid number on a prior assessment. However, a correction may be a State-specific requirement.
