If sombody can help me with this. We have  a resident that was taken off from Medicare A as of 12/12/03. This pt. has GT site but we're not using it except for flushing. She had modified barium swallow last december and it showed Zenker's Diverticulum. Just last friday, MD ordered to put resident on NPO and start the GT feeding. Now, we are arguing if we can put resident back to part A since she is still on 30 day window as of today. I really need response for this for Our meeting in AM. thanks a lot for ther response.
