Re: therapeutic leave of absence/MEDICARE

If this person was receiving therapy, and perhaps went home in a w/c, while learning to walk again, why not a therapeutic leave for THanksgiving w/ family.  I certainly wouldn't want to be sitting in the SNF while my family was hogging turkey & cranberries!   Aafter the 3 days, I would return for my therapies.  No big deal, and ok by CMS.   Corey ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 8:16 PM Subject: Re: therapeutic leave of absence/MEDICARE In a message dated 12/1/2003 10:37:38 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Can someone pls tell me what to do when a Medicare person went out on pass/therapeutic bedhold and they were out for 3-4 days (went home for Thanksgiving).
