Jamie, It would
appear that the Oxygen is related to the lung cancer and therefore to the
terminal illness which is covered by the Hospice benefit. Therefore it would appear that the resident should
be dc’d from Medicare A Skilled Benefit. Roberta S. Cline, MS, LNHA, RAC-C Consultant Pathway Health Services 2025 Fourth Street White Bear Lake, MN 55110 C:

to End Stage Lung Disease at the same time? I had her skilled with
therapy for a different dx. than the Hospice one, but now ther. has d/c'd. Can
she continue on MCR A (I will do an OMRA) with oxygen which is for the same
diagnosis as the Hospice (End Stage Lung Disease)? |
