When you have to restart the Medicare assessment schedule, you have started a new Medicare stay. Even though it was just a few days they were discharged and then readmitted to Medicare. Since it is a "new stay" you would start day one and do section T for the first 15 days of this particular Medicare stay.

Subject: section T

Good morning,  we have a resident adm 12/31/03, on medicare and cut from therapy 1/30/04 then put back on ot 2/2/04.  I re-started the assessments with the 5 day but what do I put for section T?  I don’t think it should be done as the manual states the first 14 days of stay.  I just want to make sure that I am correct.
