-3676 Format Fatal Values of Code and Checklist Items:
Only the coded values listed in the "Item Values" table of the Detailed Data Specifications Report may be submitted for this item.
-3796 Consistency Fatal The submission system will recalculate the ISC and compare the recalculated value with the value that is submitted in ITM_SBST_CD. If A0050 (formerly X0100)=[3] (the record is an inactivation), then the recalculated ISC value will be [XX]. If A0050=[1,2] (the record is a new record or a modification record), then the recalculated ISC value will be based upon the submitted RFA values. In either case, if the recalculated value does not match the value submitted in ITM_SBST_CD, a fatal error will result.
-3826 Consistency Fatal If B0100=[0,-] and A0310G=[2] and A0310A=[99] and A0310B=[99], then all active items from C0100 through C0600 must equal [^] and all active items from C0700 through C1000 must not equal [^].
-3837 Consistency Fatal If B0100=[0,-] and A0310G=[2] and A0310A=[99] and A0310B=[99], then all active items from J0200 through J0850 must equal [^].

-3891 Consistency Warning Self-Care and Mobility Discharge Goals: If A0310B=[01], then at least one of the active Discharge Goal items (GG0130A2, GG0130B2, GG0130C2, GG0130E2, GG0130F2, GG0130G2, GG0130H2, GG0170A2, GG0170B2, GG0170C2, GG0170D2, GG0170E2, GG0170F2, GG0170G2, GG0170I2, GG0170J2, GG0170K2, GG0170L2, GG0170M2, GG0170N2, GG0170O2, GG0170P2, GG0170R2, GG0170S2) should be equal to [01,02,03,04,05,06,07,09,10,88]. Entering the dash [-] as the response to all of the Discharge Goal items may result in a payment reduction of two percentage points for the affected payment determination.
-3897 Consistency Warning If A0310B=[01], then the following warning message will apply if a dash is submitted for this item:

Payment Reduction Warning: A dash (-) submitted in this quality measure assessment item may result in a payment reduction for your facility of two percentage points for the affected payment determination.
-3914 Consistency Fatal The Item Subset Code (ISC) is a two- or three-character code that indicates the type of record that is being submitted. The set of active items is controlled by the ISC. With the exceptions of the IPA and OSA ISCs, the characters of the ISC are defined as follows:

Character 1 indicates the type of provider and is based upon the value of A0200, as follows:
a) If A0200 is equal to [1] (nursing home record), then character 1 of the ISC is equal to [N].
b) If A0200 is equal to [2] (swing bed record), then character 1 of the ISC is equal to [S].

Characters 2 and 3 indicate the type of record and are based upon the values of the Reason For Assessment (RFA) items A0310A, A0310B, A0310F, and A0310H. The "Item Subset Code (ISC) Report" that accompanies the data specs lists all possible combinations of the RFA items and their associated ISCs. If the ISC that is listed in the report is equal to dashes, then the combination of RFA items is not allowed. If a record is submitted with one of these invalid RFA combinations, a fatal error will occur and it will be rejected.

The ISC_VAL table that is contained in the data specifications Access database is used to generate the ISC report and can be used by programmers as a lookup table. In addition, an appendix of the overview document that accompanies these data specifications contains source code for a Visual Basic function (GetISC_10012019()) that can be used to determine the ISC that is associated with any combination of the RFA items.

For a more complete explanation of the meaning and use of the ISC codes, please refer to the documentation that accompanies these data specifications.
