The previous MDS will only pay through day nine so you would be out the payment for day 10. Now I know you will want source documentation for that so I will look and try to find it. Jeanne

If the patient d/c's on day 11, you don't charge for day of d/c so you would not be out 1 days pay.  If I am understanding all of this correctly.

 I deleted the original email here so if the question is a resident remained skilled but discharged 11 days after all therapies were discontinued then why would you need an OMRA?  Since the payment changes on the ARD if you didn't complete the OMRA on day 10 and then the resident discharges from your facility on day 11 you will be out one days payment. Jeanne

If the resident was discharged on day 11 after therapy d/c, then the last covered medicare a day would be day 10 after therapy d/c. 
Explain please. What does this mean?
