Q: Should L0200B, edentulous, be coded if the resident has no teeth, but also has no mouth problems?
A: The RAI User's Manual instructions state that if the resident "lacks all natural teeth or parts of teeth," this must be coded on the MDS. The CAA will trigger and it will systematically be determined whether there is a problem for the resident related to this.
