Respiratory is a "skilled service", just like
physical therapy. Therefore, if nursing is giving a 20 minute nebulizer
treatment four times a day, and assume that the patient is receiving an hour of
PT q.d., the number of minutes per 7 days of therapy is now 860 min. vs. 300
min. for PT 5 days. Can't figure out why you have to beat the nursing
director with the manual and payment rates to get them to change the MAR to
capture the therapy minutes and Pulse Ox scores!!!!?????
