I had a resident who was readmitted from the hospital to medicare. Her 5
day assessment fell in the time period that her quarterly was due. She was
not a signficant change. She just needed PT/OT for endurance. That was the
only change. She stayed on medicare for 7 days. When I opened the
assessment, I coded it for quarterly and 5 day. When I transmitted to state
it was accepted. Now in closing the end of month for billing, the software
did not pull a Hipps modifier. I can't find a Hipps modifier for this.
Help!!
Would I manually enter 5/1?
