Maybe I missed the answer to this string but it is a good question
Do we start a new certification form (I use the Briggs form) for every
readmission from the hospital? I was told at a seminar years back that each
certification form (initial, day 14, 44 and 74) is for a benefit period. I
have just been adjusting due dates for day 44 and 74 if they are out to the
hospital in between. I have never had any complaint from my Fiscal
Intermediary.
Any suggestions from the experts?
Thanks in advance!
