The 5 day pays for day 1-14, the 14 day pays day 15-30, the 30 day pays day 31-60 and
soforth It doesn't matter if you use grace days. The 30 day starts payment on day 31.
The only time you have a change in the payment is on the ARD of an OMRA. At that time,
the payment changes from the ARD until the end of the payment period you are in. If
you have let's say an RMC RUG for 30 day and you complete and OMRA with let's say an
SSB with the ARD on day 45, you will be paid the RMC rate from day 31-44 and then the
SSB rate from day 45 through to day 60. The 60 day will begin the payment on day 61.
Hope this helps.
