Title: Citrus Punch

The stated reason was to
"save days for later"... I do not think this is allowed. If the resident is
skilled per the PPS assessment, then they are skilled...

MCR?
What would the reason be for denying Medicare? We have had a few
residents deny Medicare because all of our beds were not certified for MCR and
the resident and family thought that it would be detrimental to the resident
to have to move to a new unit with new staff. It was always an issue
during survey but passed after the resident and family were
interviewed. -----Original Message----- From: "Jamie Morris,

Subject: can a MCD resident waive MCR?
If a resident is MCD and tube fed, can the family
choose to waive MCR and have the resident be MCD? Or is this only an option
for private pay residents?
