House Repeals RUG-IV Delay

The House has passed a bill that eliminates the one-year delay of the RUG-IV case-mix classification system. This means it would take effect on October 1, 2010, the same day as MDS 3.0. The Senate is expected to pass the bill.

The action earned applause from both the AHCA and Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care.
