RE: billing combined assessments

[Brenda Chance]

You can use grace days for a 14 day assessment but you cannot for an admission assessment.  Grace days will not default you for PPS as long as you use the grace days specified (days 15-19).   This may, however, put you in some hot water as far as obra is concerned as your admission assessment will not be completed by the 14th day.   Brenda W.

Also, if grace days  were to be used in this situation would this result in a default for billing?
