Subject: Readmit / deceased less than 24 hour
HI
I have a resident that passed away in less than 24 hours upon
readmission from the hosp with MCR eligible . His readmit date 12/31/03
at 11:50 am , deceased 11:55 pm same day. Billing is telling me that I do
not have to do an MDS / cert for that day because they don't charge for
that day because the resident expired before midnite. If so, what happens to
that day of payment? I thought their was an exception to the rule when
someone is admitted and dies within 24 hours that you could still charge for
that day according to the rug. Please help,
nancy fro PA
Futhermore, could you count the physicans visit from the hosp progress
notes for section p7 on the mds if done.
