Our therapist attended a seminar last week. Other
companies reported to her that the mds people are not recording therapy minutes
on the 5 day medicar assessment so they can capture a higher RUG by using IV
meds from hospital etc. The last seminar I attended on this subject informed us
we could occassionally do this on certain dx (stroke or pneumonia) it allows the
resident to be "sick" and stablized before therapy is started. Otherwise
medicare expects us to use therapy minutes and get proper RUG. Can you send me
any information on this
