Remember that a new admit still needs RAPS doen by day 14. If RAPS are already done follow the instructions in RAI manual, page 3-239, and enter same date in VB2 as in VB1. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 12:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 14 day medicare If an admitted res on medicare goes to hospital after the 14 day admission assessment is completed with raps and all, is it necessary to do another?
