RE: Mix 30/30d w/a Qtr?

[Brenda Chance]

I think what she was asking was could you combine a quarterly with a 30 day or 60 day PPS assessment and the answer is yes.  You can combine any OBRA assessment and PPS assessment together when possible.  This saves greatly on your workload.   Brenda W.

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?
