Hi Deb, I am a bit confused by your question. If they d/cd prior to initial
why was a return anticipated discharge and re-enty completed. When
this resident returned they only needed coding of 1 filled in for
AA8a. A re-enty form would not be needed. Ok now for the second part of
your question. If they went out Medicare and you had completed a PPS assessment
for payment only purposes for the few days they were in the facility then when
they returned you would code a 1/5 but if they weren't on Medicare when they
went out but had a 3 day qualifying stay within 30 days you would code a 1/1 if
you were picking them up. If they haven't had a 3 day stay as I stated and
don't have a daily skilled service then you would only complete AA8a
as a 1 and nothing in AA8b. The RAI manual is actually the best source for this
question but if your want the info about the 3 day stay you can find it in
the new manuals on the cms site. I don't have an actual page for
you because the manual set up is changed but they are actually
arranged nicely to find sources. Hope this helps.
Jeanne.
