Background
During the 2009 legislative session, a provision was passed that requires the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the MN Department of Health (MDH) to establish procedures for the transition from the resource utilization group (RUG) system, version III to IV when determining classifications for nursing facility residents for rate setting purposes beginning January 1, 2012.
