If the hospital stay of 1/8 was for at least 3 days he can use the
remaining days left in this benefit period. If he exhausted his MC he
has no days until he has the 60 day break.

He was off Med A from 12/10. Readmitted to hospital 1/8. Would the
readmission place him back on MedA and that is why you are saying he
wasn't off for 30 days. Another opinion I've received says I cannot
cover him because he wasn't picked up in the SNF w/in 30 days and did
not have a 60 day break. More opinions, please. Rena, what's the rule
here, please.
