I am just wondering if any facility is pursuing the lower rug categories for payment such as Impaired Cognition, Behavior Only, and Physical Function Reduced? A facility in Illinois who is thinking of doing this called their Fiscal Intermediary and the FI said they could do it, but they would eventually be audited so they needed to have all their documentation in place. If anyone is doing this, what needs to be addressed with these RUG categories? Is it only the Restorative after a 3 day qualifying stay? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for the help I have received on this list serve.
