If so, you do not bill for 1/18/04 and add one day to your benefit period. If the resident needs the assessment reference date extended to grace days to benefit him, then you extend it to capture the right rugs score for the resident. Brenda W.

Is it the 18th that we can't bill Medicare for? Also, he is in the middle of an ARD. When counting my look back days do I skip this day altogether or can I count any services that we (or ER) provided? /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
