I have a question for the group about therapy requested and paid for by the
family. If a person is in a Part A stay in the SNF and does not require
skilled therapy (other skilled services but just not rehab) but the patient
and the family want therapy and are willing to pay privately for it, is
there any reason why this could not be done? I know the days and minutes
could not be counted in section P1b (RAI manual 3-187) so that is not the
issue.
Thanks
