If the resident is still in a Medicare A stay, your facility will be responsible for the bill. It will come out of your per diem rate. This will be a very expensive resident for you.

Subject: MCR A resident who leaves facility for IV meds...
We have a resident who was discharged during a MCR stay to the hospital for arm surgery. She was out for 2 days. She now has returned but will be leaving the facility every day to return to the hospital for IV medications (she has a Hickman port and we do not do any IV therapy here). This will last for 30 days. We wonder (our MDS office & our billing office) how the IV meds. will be paid for... will we (the facility) be paying for this out of her per diem?
