Resident admitted from hospital under Medicare with last covered day of 11/6, no further skilled need. On 12/1 (today) had IV started for dehydration with no meds in the IV, fluids only. Would she qualify for Medicare, under her previous benefit or does there have to be meds in the IV to qualify? We are doing increased assessment due to dx. Any input appreciated.
