Re: Private room - Billers?

[dfrias]

Sure there are a number of ways....but my question then will be to you....what way do you want your stripes....horizonal or vertical.   All kidding aside....if the medical necessity is there....yet the resident has not met the criteria for MC benefits d/t no hospitalization then you have a Medicaid resident in a private room for 6 weeks....and in my former facility....if this resident likes the room....they stay.  Some little regulation called Resident Rights.   HUMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm   The Nose ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda Budde To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 3:53 PM Subject: Private room - Billers? Could someone tell me off the top of their head if there is a way to get additional reimbursement for a Medicaid resident that must be in private room due to medical necessity for 6 weeks?  (Non-Medicare bed).  (Resident is receiving chemo tx in bladder - precautions necessary).  We are in KS.     Linda Budde, RN Reimbursements Friendly Acres, Inc.
