I have a
question. As of now on private pay patients I only do MDS on the 14th day.
If they leave prior to 14th day MDS is not done.We have 5 private insurance (Tricar one of
them) that is requesting RUG's just like we do it on Medicare (5 day 14
day), because it was in our contract. and that was ok... but now somebody called
me form the billing office telling me that I have to submit and transmit them,
meaning the 5 day also.... Is there any new rule out there that we have to
transmit 5 day private pay patients....???Please advice... Thank
you.
