I missed the first part of this question.  Is the resident in question receiving daily insulin injections? Otherwise, 1 visit and 2 order changes will not qualify for clinically complex. There have to be 1 visist and 4 order changes or 2 of each.    Holly ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 7:17 PM Subject: Re: skilled determination question In a message dated 11/17/2003 11:11:16 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Even if you are observing for continued problems, etc., there has to be a reason to skill, usually within the top 26 rugs.    One physician visit and two order changes should get you a CB1; and that is in the upper 26 RUGS Levels.   Glenn Gorleski (Barnes) RAC-C Case Manager, MDS Coordinator Quality Assurance Nurse
