RE: OMRA

[Brenda Chance]

You only do an OMRA when a resident has been discharged from therapy services and still meets skilling guidelines for nursing.  You do not do an OMRA when a resident is discharged from medicare a because at that point, you are saying they no longer meet skilled level of care.   Brenda W.

We had resident that was on PArt A. She was on PT and PT discharged her on09/30/03 and we continued to cover her until 10/07/03. We  monitored her lab levels secondary to anemia and had IV Ferricitin which ended 09/24/03.   I did OMRA with ARD of 10/07/03, my question is, do we still need the omra since resident was discharged to part A as of 10/07/03? I still have the OMRA in the system, it';s not yet transmitted. I will be waiting for the response. thanks
