That's what I was taught, Brenda.

I was taught to only mark Medicare A per diem since we receive a per diem rate for each resident and everything comes out of this rate, including therapy, supplies, medications, etc. Am I right?

Med A Ancillary Services (and Med B Ancillary) are the things such as therapy, medications, certain medical supplies that would be charged separately from the room rate. After day 20, you would also need to mark for resident Medicaid liability or Medicare coinsurance. Holly F.
