Care Centers Asked to Make Annual Case Mix Election

Posted on May 26, 2021 by Jeff Bostic

Care centers are asked to make an annual Case Mix Election to determine the rate for Medical Assistance and private pay residents who stay 14 days or less. Providers choose either to do a Minimum Data Set (MDS) for all such residents and bill based on that case mix or decide not to do MDS and bill at the default (DDF case mix) rate.

This year, MDH will use the Case Mix Review (CMR) Portal for the annual election process. The facility CMR Portal Director should have received an email with information on the election process. The CMR Director will work with the facility to determine the election option.

The deadline for completing the annual election is Monday, June 07, 2021.
