Re: OMRA REVISITED

[Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C]

Actually, an OMRA will not be required in this situation. The purpose of the OMRA is to reset the payment rate from  a rehab rate to a nursing rate when therapies are discontinued. If the resident is already at a nursing rate based on the 14 day assessment, then OMRA will not be necessary.   Holly Holly F.
