We cannot charge a bed hold. If the resident wants to
assure that that
particular bed is available upon return to the center
after the several days
leave, then she may elect to privately hold that
bed. If she does not, the
facility does not get paid by anyone.
What is the likehood that you would
need to fill that bed anyway? We
just don't get paid when there is no one
in the bed at
midnight.

If someone on medicare
wants to leave to go home a few days
for Christmas, how does billing do
this? I know from reading things here
that she can keep MCR and we do not
bill MCR for the days she is out, but
who pays for these days? Does
the family have to pay bedhold?
