Part B

[Shopqueen62]

Hi     I hope this is clear, it is goes. When a resident was part A  and exhausted there 100 day benefit period and MD writes order for LOC  to  ICF this then starts a pending new part A for this resident if he / she has a 60 day wellness period , right ? BUT "then say 34 or more  days go bye and this  resident is experiencing freq falls and PT picks up resident  for pt tx 5 / wk x 2 weeks.        Resident then reaches max pot. pt d/c. Several weeks  later after physicial therapy tx  go bye , resident became ill  with PN  hosp for 3 midnite stays , returns to the facility one and half weeks later. Is this resident qualified once again for a new one hundred days  of MCR services, or not , being that the resident did not have a 60 day wellness period due to PT  part b tx right before  hosp.     Please respond, and if there is literature stated this please guide or email it to me.  I  guess what I am trying to say is , Does Part B services  OF any kind of therapies 5 times  and / or skilled  nrsg serivces like two stage 2's , one 3 or 4 with daily treat interrupt  a resident's wellness period or not ?     nancy
