I would like to run this one by the group:
Several months ago, I made my corporate MDS Consultant aware that a resident could not be skilled again under Medicare A after benefits were exhausted for G-T tube if the resident remained in this or any LTC facility with feedings/flushes via G-T, meeting the skilling requirements, of course. However, she recently recommended that my facility should submit a �Demand Bill� to the FI if we had a resident that would be skillable under Medicare A again although the resident did not have a break in skill. She stated that she had received this advice from the FI of another state. My facility is located in FL, so, if there is anyone from the FL FI participating in this group, I would appreciate your point of view on this issue.
Thank you in advance,
MDS Coordinator
