You only need a 5-day if you want to receive more than the
default rate. For one day, you have to decide if the RUG you expect
is greater than the default rate by enough to justify the work needed to do
the assessment.

Somebody sent a question
regarding a medicare resident that was admitted at 3:00 pm and was discharged
at 10:00 pm the same date, and the question was, does she need to do a 5 day
asmnt although she was not there over midnight?
I am interested to the
answer too. Rena, if you are there, can you give your
input about this and we want to know the regulations too.
thanks.
