From CMS: "While it is true that the RUG conversion proposal would not become effective until FY 2011, our decision to...propose to finalize it well in advance of its actual implementation date represents a response to specific requests from the nursing home industry in order to provide as much advance notification as possible...and to provide adequate time for system updates and training necessary to implement any proposed changes that are finalized."
