But then do you have somewhere where you document the time? to validate it for on the MDS. We use the hospital's RT department and I don't know if I can get them to document the time that it takes them.

Most of residents aren't very independent so usually it fits. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gola, Tammy Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 10:59 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: BIPAPS Hi Group, I know that you can't count BIPAP's under Vent/Resp. in section P but can you code it for oxygen therapy in section P?
