You will start over with a 5 day. You only do a readm/return if the resident goes to the hospital while on medicare a and returns to your facility.

She is now eligible again for Medicare and I reinstated her as of Jan 15. She did not go out to the hospital. Do I do a Medicare 5 day OR do I do a Medicare Readmission. Based on the manual - it sounds like the readmission/reentry assessment is only if the resident was discharged to the hospital. Just want a little clarification!
