Resident was sent to the hospital due to complain of chest pain, was given a Dx of unstable angina (which is not a new Dx for her). Last month we put her on PPS and had a RUG score of PA1. Situation now is exactly the same as the last time. With the presumptive coverage rule, she does not meet the criteria.

I have another question-why does this resident require SNF placement? Could you provide more details on the nature of the resident condition and need for hospitalization in the first place? Thanks.

If resident went out to the hospital, came back and upon review of the hospital record there is nothing to capture and no need for rehab, therefore not on the top 26 RUGs. We should not put them on PPS right? Thanks!
