We have a resident here on HMO/Managed Care. We do Medicare scheduling on our HMO/Managed Care people. Resident admitted on 10/31 with last covered day of managed care being 11/3, resident discharged 11/4. The assessment that I will be submitting will be coded as "0" and "1" with discharge as "08" prior to initial admission assessment. That should be acceptable, since our policy is to do managed care residents on a PPS schedule, right? (I was worried that the State may think we are taking the easy way out by not doing an initial admission assessment like we would do on a non-Medicare resident.)
Any input appreciated.

Plain and simple. If your resident is not in your facility for 14 days an Admission Assessment is not required.
