Nursing Facilities – PC E and PC M Assessments for a One-Day Gap

Information posted October 22, 2009: TMHP has identified an issue with submitting Purpose Code E (PC E) and Purpose Code M (PC M) assessments. Since October 2, 2009, providers have not been able to submit a PC E or PC M for a one day gap. When attempting to submit a PC E or PC M where the Missed Assessment Start Date and the Missed Assessment End Date are the same date, providers will receive an error message and will not be able to submit the assessment. This issue should be corrected effective October 30, 2009, and providers will again be able to submit PC E and PC M assessments for a one-day gap at that time. Until the correction is made, the Purpose Code can be submitted for two days, and the system will adjust to one day. For questions, please contact TMHP at 1-800-626-4117, Option 1.
