RE: Counting "outside" therapy minutes

[k.karren]

I am still a newbie, I know I am a day late – a dollar short, and maybe I missed the boat here  ; >.  But I might question that SLP was even correct in documenting the minutes provided. Wouldn’t the services provided most likely be all part of the evaluation performed by SLP and therefore not counted?     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 10:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Counting "outside" therapy minutes   Hi Group, I have a question to relay from an email-impaired friend.   When a Med A resident is sent out to the hospital for modified barium swallow, and returns with documentation of the minutes provided by the SLP doing the study, can these minutes be counted on the MDS?     Thanks!   Holly F.
