RE: readmission assessment clarification

[Brenda Chance]

No.  Your cycle starts over.  You would do the readm/return (5 day) and then follow with the 14 day, etc.  You would stop your cycle when the maximum 100 day benefit period is ended.   Brenda W.

For example:  Mr. B went to hospital on day 18 and returned on day 22.  We would do a return/readmit day 5 of return (26th day) then do 30 day on day 30 - 34?  No need to do 14 day/admission (RAPs) again?
