New Onset CVA

[KDeniseSRN]

A couple of Questions for the group. I know we have discussed this before, but sometimes I just need reinforcement. Please and Thank you.   Can 436 Acute, but ill-defined, cerebrovascular disease be use as a Primary diagnosis to skill a resident under Medicare part A if there is actual skilled care being given?   Can V-Codes be used as a primary diagnosis if there is actual skilled care being delivered to the resident?   Thanks group
