I agree that you can combine any OBRA assessemtn with a PPS
assessment. This is because you can complete a quarterly earlier
than 92 days, just not later. That gives us the ability to combine the
two. It's just a juggling act and we have to make sure both are in thier
desgnated time frame. Waiting a couple of extra weeks to get the quarterly
done after the resdient goes off Medicare is extra work. We certainly
don't need that!! :-)

You can't combine a 30 and 60 day assessment but you can combine either a
30 or a 60 with a quarterly. Depends on how you interpret the original
question how you answer this one.

No you can't. An OBRA assessment can be
combined with a PPS assessment because the OBRA assessment is timed on a
yearly schedule and the PPS assessment is set at specific DAYS.
Therefore, if you combine a 30 day with a 60 day, you will not be able to
find any day in the assessment periods that will not get you a default
payment for at least a few days. I am including an attachment on
scheduling PPS assessments with the grace days so that you will understand
more easily.

Subject: Mix 30/30d w/a Qtr?
I have several residents that are completing their
100d, but will remain long term. Over last 3yrs haven't had this scenerio,
I realize that I can mix a 90 day and qtr together, but can you do
the same with a 30 and 60 day?
Thank you,
Claudia
