Maybe I misread the question, but I don't think she
was asking about doing a correction. I was under the impression she was asking
if it was correct under those circumstances to estimate minutes. My response is
still no based on the fact that as of the ARD there was no intent to deliver
therapy. That intent disappeared when the decision was made to stop therapy due
to the residents inability to participate.

I don't think so. The minutes in section T are
estimated minutes the resident is expected to
receive in 15 days. There is no need to do a correction if the
resident is discharged prior to completion of the 15 days.

If the estimated therapy to be delivered in section T is not delivered
over the next 15 days, then you actually have to do a modification-you can
not bill for what you did not deliver. Best to reflect in sect. T only what
you now know was actually delivered. Is this poor soul an SE3
anyway? Michelle Witges <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

admitted 1-23-04 all three therapies saw and evaluated and ordered
therapy. Pt was the only therapy given during the lookback period as
resident became ill and was unable to part. in any therapy after
1-24-04. He expired shortly after the
ARD. Now, is it appropriate to estimate therapy?

Is it appropriate to estimate therapy on the 5 day assessment if
the resident expired during the lookback period? I used to know
the answer to this. Thanks.
