I'm sure your facility has documentation to support the fall and pain. It doesn't look like the labs support the dehydration dx. ACF get good reimburemsnt for those dx but thats not your problem. Certainly putting a geriatric rt in the hosps for 3 days can cause decline iin stamina and endurance. I wouldn't think she would be skilled very long. Long and short answer is yes.

Question for the goup please: I have a lady here who went to the doctor'f office last Thu for evaluatiion of (R) hip pain after having a fall. she ended up admitted to the hospital. She came back yesterday and no where in her H&H or discharge summary does it mention any kind of fall or hip pain. All it mentions is diarrhea and dehydration with lab work looking pretty good. PT came in yesterday (I was off) and ordered therapy due to "decreased mobility, balance, and endurance". Is to Rx 3x/week. Would this lady qualify for med a or should it be charged to med b??? thanks in advance for any help. Terri _____ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
