This is what I would do as well.

Subject: Re: Can rehab minutes be
counted in this case?
This is a very interesting question
and one that I look forward to seeing replies from others.
The manual is not clear on how to
proceed with this one. I would treat this as I would a resident who
transfers on day 2 of the stay. I would set the ARD on day 2 since that
is his last covered day and complete the assessment as a return readmission
assessment. I would use estimated minutes to get a rehab RUG, but the
highest level you could get would be a High using estimated minutes. I
don't think that it would be acceptable to use minutes AFTER the end of skilled
services to get a higher RUG, but am anxious to see if others agree or
disagree.

Subject: Can rehab
minutes be counted in this case?
I know this question has come up in the past...
Part A resident was recently admitted to us
after several "in-and-out" transfers (to the acute care hospital
and back to SNF) ; the hospital recently had resident on "swing
status" and resident now has only "2" Part A
days remaining at this time. PT and OT
services will be working with him at "very high" level; can I
still capture the minutes delivered on days 3, 4, 5, and 6 ,even though they
are not covered by Part A , in order to RUG him at "RVB" for
his remaining "2" days? Thanks to all!
