You know what? I misread the original
question. When I saw there was no therapy after the 24th, I read that as
the ARD being the 24th. I agree with you, Nathan... as of the ARD, therapy
was not being delivered, thus projected minutes should not be included.
I need to quit responding on Saturday mornings
before coffee.

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.
