...but if you can give them both sides of a semi private room for the 6 weeks, then you can move in a roommate when they are out of isolation......

 

Linda---not sure about Kansas Medicaid reimbursement, but I would doubt that there are many states out there anymore that will give extra reimbursement for that situation.

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

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.
