Thank you

Mary Jo,
I believe the RAI Manual
states that a #5 in AA8b is for a Readmission/return assessment. This resident
is neither to your facility, therefore I believe a #1 for a 5 day assessment
should be completed by your facility. It is confusing because they are still
in their 100 day benefit period, but you also have to look at the fact
the resident is new to your facility. I would code 11, unless you do the
initial admission assessment with the 14-day MDS.
I have had a Medicare A resident admitted to my facility that
was
receiving Med A benefits at another skilled nursing Facility.
she was on
day 47 of her stay at the other facility and has had a 5-Day ,
14-day, and
30 day MDS assessment completed there. She is not a
re-admission to my
facility, so I am a little confused about what
assessment coding I should
use. should I start over with a 5-day
and Admission Assessment?
